Beak
Using the color Perfect Coral,
Ch 3. Starting in 2nd ch from hook, hdc, then dc in last chain.
Fasten off and leave a tail for sewing.
With a yarn needle, sew the beak in between the safety eyes. Make sure to sew along the entire edge that is touching the chick body. Secure and hide tails.
Wings – Make 2
Using body color,
R1: 6 sc in magic ring. (6 sts)
R2: Inc in each st around. (12 sts)
R3: Sc 1, inc 6 times. (18 sts)
Fasten off and leave a tail for sewing. With a yarn needle, weave in the starting tail. Then use the needle to sew the wings to the body. Place them near round 11 and use the straight pins to keep them in place while you attach. Secure and hide tail.
For the glasses:
Use wire cutters to cut 12 inches of the 16 gauge wire. Use the safety eyes as a guide to help know where the holes should be. Make sure the arms are straight and then carefully place them on the chick, making sure to not poke into the yarn. If giving this chick to a child, I do recommend omitting the glasses.
And there you have it! The cutest chick for spring! Make a whole flock of them in every color and give them as gifts this Easter! Or use them to decorate your house! The choice is yours! I hope you loved this pattern and I can’t wait to see all the chicks everyone makes!
