Baby Chick Crochet Pattern

March 16, 2017

With Easter coming up soon, I thought it would be a fun project to make a baby chick for my kiddos.  I have posted the pattern for free for all of you to enjoy as well.  I made this in just a few hours, its super fun and quick.

I have written out and posted the free pattern for this adorable baby chick below on this page. You can also purchase the ad free instant download PDF file for easy printing and reading for $5 USD.

Baby Chick – Free Crochet Pattern

What you will need:

Here is what you will need:

  • Berroco Comfort Worsted Weight Yarn in two colours.  I used:
    • Color A: Buttercup (approx. 150 yards)
    • Color B: Kidz Orange (approx. 50 yards)
  • Size G (4.0 mm) Crochet Hook
  • Safety Eyes or buttons (if you are making this for a very small child it is safest to embroider on the eyes).
  • Scissors
  • Stitch Marker or scrap piece of yarn
  • Poly-Fil for stuffing the chick
  • Yarn or tapestry needle to sew the pieces together

Finished Size:

Approximately 6 inches top to bottom.

Abbreviations:

SC: Single Crochet

ST: Stitch

SC2Tog: Single Crochet Two Together

Notes Before you Start:

  1. I worked my single crochets in the back loop to make it easier to count my rows and I personally just like the way it looks.
  2. Work your rounds in spirals, do not join at the beginning of each round.   You will need to use a stitch marker to mark your rounds.
  3. Each round has the total number of stitches for the round in brackets.  If you are unsure its always a good idea to count your stitches.

Pattern:

Head and Body:

With color A, make a magic circle or adjustable ring

Round 1: Make 6 SC in magic circle (6 St).

Round 2:  SC twice in each stitch (12 St).

Round 3: *SC twice in next stitch, SC in next stitch.  Repeat from * until end of round (18 St).

Round 4: *SC twice in next stitch, SC in next 2 stitches.  Repeat from * until end of round (24 St).

Round 5: *SC twice in next stitch, SC in next 3 stitches.  Repeat from * until end of round (30 St).

Round 6: *SC twice in next stitch, SC in next 4 stitches.  Repeat from * until end of round (36 St).

Round 7: *SC twice in next stitch, SC in next 5 stitches.  Repeat from * until end of round (42 St).

Round 8: *SC twice in next stitch, SC in next 6 stitches.  Repeat from * until end of round (48 St).

Round 9-15: SC in each stitch (48 St).

Round 16: *SC2Tog, SC in next 6 stitches.  Repeat from * to end of round (42 St).

Round 17: *SC2Tog, SC in next 5 stitches.  Repeat from * to end of round (36 St).

Round 18: *SC2Tog, SC in next 4 stitches.  Repeat from * to end of round (30 St).

Round 19: *SC2Tog, SC in next 3 stitches.  Repeat from * to end of round (24 St).

Weave a few strands of yarn in color B through the top of the head and fray the yarn to make the hair (see image below).

Attach the eyes between rounds 11 and 12.  Space them 11 stitches apart (see photo below for guide). Embroider on the beak at the midpoint between the eyes with the centre of the beak going over round 13.  Stuff the head with the poly-fil and continue on to the next round where we start to work the body.

Round 38: *SC2Tog.  Repeat from * to end of round (6 St).

Round 1: Make 6 SC in magic circle (6 St).

Round 2:  SC twice in each stitch (12 St).

Round 3: *SC twice in next stitch, SC in next stitch.  Repeat from * until end of round (18 St).

And there you have it!  An adorable little baby chick just in time to add to the Easter basket!
