It's been almost a year since I last posted on my blog, so I thought it was about time for another post 😆.
I made this little chick 🐣 last year and thought it was time to (finally) share this pattern.
If you make a baby chick and share it on Instagram, please tag me @handmade__byani or use the hashtag #handmadebyani! If you have any questions about the pattern, please leave a comment below.
Happy crocheting!

This pattern uses US terminology and is worked in continuous rounds unless otherwise specified. I recommend using a stitch marker or a scrap piece of yarn to mark the first stitch of each round.
See my blog post here on how to convert US terminology to UK terminology.
The baby chick will measure approx. 7cm when using similar yarn and hook size.

- 8 ply (DK) cotton in yellow and white
- Small amount of orange and brown yarn for embroidering beak and feet
- 3mm crochet hook
- Yarn needle

- Black embroidery thread for eyes
Abbreviations (US terminology)
- sc: single crochet (note: I have used x-shaped stitches)
- hdc: half double crochet
- dc: double crochet

- dec: single crochet invisible decrease
