Step-by-Step Instructions

1: Making the Body

Use yellow yarn and start with a magic ring of 6 single crochet stitches in round 1.
Build round 2 by adding 6 increases (total of 12 stitches).
For round 3, alternate 1 single crochet stitch and 1 increase (18 stitches total).
Round 4 – alternate 2 single crochet stitches and 1 increase (24 stitches total).
Work single crochet stitches from round 5 to round 11 to shape the body.
Place the safety eyes between a round 7 and 8, leaving 5 stitches apart. Secure them using safety caps.
Continue to round 12 with 2 single crochets and 1 decrease (18 stitches total). Add stuffing as needed.
Work round 13 by alternating 1 single crochet and 1 decrease (12 stitches total).
Close the body using a wool needle, taking the front part of each stitch to make a neat finish.

2: Making the Beak

For the beak, use orange yarn and create a magic ring.
Add 4 half-double stitches into the ring, leaving some yarn to join later.

3: Creating the Wings

With yellow yarn, create a wing at the left of the eye, counting 3 spaces away.
Insert your hook into the designated stitch, chain one, and work 2 double crochets.
Use a wool needle to secure the ends of the yarn neatly. Repeat this step on the opposite side to create the second wing.

4: Adding the Tuft

Using yellow yarn again, create a tuft at the top of the chick’s head near the second round.
Raise 3 chains in the air, work slip stitches in the first chain, and create a single crochet stitch in the second.
Repeat the same process to complete the tuft.

5: Making the Legs

Switch to orange yarn and work the legs in a similar way to the wings.
Start at the bottom of the chick's body, under the magic ring.
Use the wool needle to secure both leftover ends, ensuring the legs are properly attached.

6: Joining the Beak and Final Details

Place the beak in the center, between the eyes, and secure it with a pin.
Use the wool needle to stitch the beak to the body gently.
Add a little blush or rouge to the chick’s cheeks for a pop of charm!
