Crochet Pattern Easter Chick

I’ve got a great, easy, fast crochet pattern for you! First, a little back story. When I was young, my grandma and my great aunt crocheted everything under the sun. They were actually the ones that taught my cousin and me the basics of crocheting. Anyway, one thing they made at Easter was chickens with a plastic egg inside. They would put goodies inside the egg of course. I’m sure they can be used as a hard-boiled egg cover as well. I absolutely loved these chickens! I have no idea what happened to mine. A few years ago I remembered these cute little fellers and began a search for a pattern because it was so long ago I really had no idea how to even begin to make some. Well, I found a pattern and have been making them every Easter since. Thank you April Moreland at The Left Side of Crochet blog!

April’s pattern is great, but I had an idea to modify her pattern and make a smaller baby chick. You know those mini plastic eggs? They fit right inside my baby chicks. So you can make a mama and baby. I’ve been making these this month as a fundraiser for our local volunteer fire department. Keep in mind that I’m not the best at writing out a crochet pattern, but here’s what I came up with.  🙂�

  1. Using an H or I hook, ch 12, join with sl st
  2. ch 3, 2 dc in the next st, dc in the next, all the way around, join (18)
  3. ch 3, dc all the way around, join (18)
  4. ch 1, 1 sc in the same st, sc in the next three sts, hdc in the next two, dc in the next 6, hdc in the next two, sc in the next 4, join (18)
  5. ch 6, sl st in last chain from hook, ch 5, sl st in same st, ch 5, sl st in same st (this is the tail)
  6. flatten your work and crochet through both layers of the chick: sc in the next 5, hdc & dc in the next st, dc & tr in the next, 2 tr in the next 2 st, tr & hdc & sl st in the last st, finish off.
  7. for the beak, ch 2, sl st & sc in the last ch, finish off and attach to the chick.

There may be a little trial and error with the opening of the baby chick, depending on your stitch sizes, type of yarn and hook, for the small egg to fit. I have also made these with no egg opening and stuffed it.

 

 

 

I hope you enjoy this free crochet pattern. Happy crocheting!

How to Care for your new baby chickens in Helen, Georgia Baby chicks are quite adorable and tough to stand up to, however it's finest to plan for their arrival prior to you get them. Prepare initially by gathering not just the proper products, however also the correct expertise to take care of them. Raising baby chicks is relatively straightforward, you just should provide them with the following: A tidy and also warm environment Plenty of food as well as water Focus and love Environment Your environment can be a simple box, aquarium, feline provider, or guinea pig cage. Line it with old towels as well as blankets (with no loose strings!) to begin, and after a few weeks utilize straw over newspaper. Note: Avoid making use of just newspaper or other sandal surfaces-- or your chicks legs can expand malformed. You likewise require something to serve up food and water in, such as a chicken feeder as well as water recipe from the feed store, or a pickle jar lid for food and also a family pet bird water dispenser from a pet store. Additionally, as the chicks get older you could present a perch into the habitat to obtain them educated on setting down. Warmth To keep your chicks heat you need to supply them with a warmth source. This can be as easy as a 100 watt light bulb in a reflective clamp style lamp from an equipment shop, or an infrared reptile heat light bulb additionally function very well (my referral). Chicks require this warmth 24/7 until their downy fluff is changed with plumes (which can take up to two months). The recently hatched require a temperature in between 90 as well as 100 levels, and each week this can be decreased by around 5 degrees approximately. The heat resource should be on simply one side of the cage to enable chicks a range of temperatures. The chicks are your ideal thermostat- if they are concealing in the opposite corner of your heat lamp, you need to minimize the temperature. If they are smothering each other under the heat (not just snuggling), you have to put some warmth. Housekeeping Tidiness is crucial and also it maintains your chicks healthy and balanced. Make sure to transform the bedding typically and constantly supply tidy food as well as water Food and also water. Chicks grow extremely fast which requires lots of clean food as well as water. Offer enough in any way times and examine often to stop dehydrated as well as hungry chicks. Chick food is different compared to adult chicken food, as well as it is available in both medicated and also non-medicated varieties. Feed chick food for the initial 2 months, then change to a raiser food (~ 17 % healthy protein) for another 2 months, and afterwards to a slightly reduced healthy protein feed or a level feed (if you have levels). Dirt Some chicks like to get a head start on taking dirt bathrooms, while others will not take up that task until they are older. If you have the space in your chick unit, present a tray of sand or filth for them to shower in. Attention as well as love There are a few benefits to spending quality time with your chicks. Firstly, they will more than likely bond with you as well as not escape as adults. Second, if you examine your chicks daily as well as see their habits, you could capture disease or various other issues previously. Watch out for wheezing, hopping, or other undesirable indicators. Make certain to additionally consider their poop, as looseness of the bowels could cause matted plumes as well as clogged up cloaca. Finally, it is necessary to keep an eye out for social problems, such as the smallest chick obtaining teased. Vacant nest disorder So your chicks are currently totally feathered and also its time for them to leave the security of your house and also move outside into a coop.
