💛 A Message From Me, Your Maker-Mama

Easter is one of those beautiful seasons when creativity blooms just like springtime flowers. And what better way to celebrate than with your own handmade Little Chick? Whether you’re new to crochet or a returning yarn lover, this easy amigurumi project will bring joy to you and whoever receives it.

As a mumpreneur juggling crafting, parenting, and homeschool life, I’ve found these types of projects are perfect for short bursts of creative time. No overwhelm, no fuss — just sweet little stitches that build something beautiful.

This chick was inspired by my little ones asking for “a tiny pet chicken” (of course!). I couldn’t say no, so I made it in yarn form 🐥💛

Let’s dive in!

🧶 Materials Needed:

  • DK or Aran weight yarn (Yellow, Orange, – or pastel colours for spring!)

  • 3.0mm crochet hook

  • Yarn needle

  • Stitch marker

  • Stuffing (polyfill or scraps of yarn)

  • Safety eyes (6mm) or black embroidery thread

  • Scissors

🪡 Stitches Used (US/UK terms):

All worked in continuous rounds unless otherwise stated.

  • Magic Ring (MR)

  • Chain (ch)

  • Slip Stitch (slst)

  • US Single Crochet (sc)/UK Double Crochet (dc)

  • Increase (inc = 2 sc/dc in one stitch)

  • Decrease (dec = single crochet/double crochet 2 together)
