The Detail of Crochet Chick

Doesn’t the photo above just look so festive?! I really fell in love with these little chicks the more I tested them over the past few weeks! I played around with safety eyes and embroidery, not being able to choose what looks best because all of them looked so darn cute. That’s why I decided to post all three looks I came up with to show you you can play around too!

Use the body of the pattern as a base line and then use your creative mind and create a face that you love the most! Believe me you will have a lot of fun with this crochet pattern!

Some FAQ and answers:

What Yarn Should I use?

I used #3 DK weight yarn. This yarn was part of my yarn stash so you can easily use whatever you have on hand. Other wise if you are gifting this as a present you can always use 100% cotton

If you reside in the US you can use this 100% acrylic yarn by Bernat or this 100% cotton yarn also by Bernat.
