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 Fairland, Oklahoma Baby chicks are extremely cute and also hard to withstand, however it's ideal to prepare for their arrival before you obtain them. Prepare first by compiling not only the correct products, however additionally the appropriate knowledge to look after them. Raising baby chicks is relatively easy, you merely have to offer them with the following: A clean and also warm environment Plenty of food and water Attention and love Habitat Your environment could be a basic box, fish tank, pet cat carrier, or guinea porker cage. Line it with old towels and blankets (without any loosened strings!) to begin, and also after a few weeks utilize straw over newspaper. Note: Avoid making use of just newspaper or other slipper surface areas-- or your chicks legs can grow misshapen. You likewise need something to serve up food and water in, such as a chicken feeder and also water meal from the feed shop, or a pickle jar lid for food as well as a family pet bird water dispenser from an animal store. Likewise, as the chicks get older you could present a perch right into the environment to obtain them trained on perching. Heat To maintain your chicks heat you have to offer them with a heat source. This can be as simple as a 100 watt light bulb in a reflective clamp design lamp from an equipment store, or an infrared reptile heat light bulb also work very well (my suggestion). Chicks require this warmth 24/7 up until their downy fluff is changed with feathers (which can use up to 2 months). The newly hatched out require a temperature level between 90 as well as 100 degrees, as well as every week this can be reduced by roughly 5 degrees approximately. The heat resource ought to be on merely one side of the cage to allow chicks a range of temperature levels. The chicks are your finest thermostat- if they are concealing in the opposite corner of your warmth light, you need to minimize the temperature. If they are surrounding each other under the heat (not merely snuggling), you have to add some heat. House cleaning Cleanliness is vital and also it keeps your chicks healthy. Make certain to change the bed linen frequently as well as consistently supply tidy food as well as water Food and water. Chicks grow really quickly which calls for a lot of tidy food and water. Supply sufficient whatsoever times and check commonly to stop thirsty as well as starving chicks. Chick food is various compared to grown-up chicken food, and it comes in both medicated and non-medicated selections. Feed chick food for the very first 2 months, then switch over to a raiser food (~ 17 % healthy protein) for an additional 2 months, and then to a somewhat reduced healthy protein feed or a layer feed (if you have layers). Dirt Some chicks like to obtain a head start on taking dust baths, while others won't take up that activity up until they are older. If you have the room in your chick room, present a tray of sand or dirt for them to bathe in. Focus and love There are a couple of advantages to hanging out with your chicks. First of all, they will most likely bond with you and not run away as adults. Second, if you examine your chicks daily as well as see their actions, you can catch ailment or various other problems earlier. Keep an eye out for hissing, limping, or various other unhealthy indicators. Be sure to additionally check out their poop, as looseness of the bowels can cause matted plumes and clogged up cloaca.
