Happy Easter !

I decided to crochet a chick for Easter, as a gift for someone special.

I had lots of fun putting him together.

























He turned out a bit bigger than the pattern, mostly because I used value yarn (from the dollar store) and a slightly larger crochet hook (4mm)



The only modifications I made were:

I  added 4 rounds of white before the edging on the shell and 2 extra rounds of yellow at the crown of the head.

The eyes were croched 6 sc using the magic loop method and slipped stitched together to close the circle.

Instead of using 2 colours for the stripe on the shell I made is solid purple.

I used a slightly different wing pattern that can be found HERE.

The FREE crochet pattern of the hatching chick can be found HERE.


Happy Easter Everyone !
