- Slowly stuff as you go, you want it to be firm but not stretched. You will be working in the round; I like to use a stitch marker at the beginning of each round.

Note – Here is where we will attach the facial features.

- Place the safety eyes 3 sts apart between round 13 and 14. With black crochet thread add eyebrows/eyelashes to your liking before securing the backs of your safety eyes.

- With a small strand of orange pass through 2 sts between the eyes to form the beak. Continue to pass through to reach the thickness you would like (I completed 3 passes).

- Lastly, with a small amount of pink add cheeks by passing through a stitch twice just below both eyes.

 


Round 17: SC around (18)

Fasten off and sew the remaining hole closed, weave in your end.
 

Feathers -

With yellow create a slip knot and attach with a sl st to the top of the head. Ch 6 and sl st into a neighboring st, this creates one ‘feather’. Repeat 3 more times for a total of 4 feathers. Fasten off and weave in your end.

 

Eggshell trim –

With white yarn create a slip knot and sl st to one of the front loops from round 10 on the body. Complete a HDC into each front loop around the body. Sl st to your first HDC. Fasten off and weave in your end.

 

Arms –

With yellow ch 4, HDC in the 2nd ch from your hook, SC, sl st (3)

Fasten off leaving a long tail for sewing.

Sew each arm onto either side of your chick at round 10 (just above the eggshell trim).


Feet –

With your tapestry needle and orange yarn pass through 3 sts between rounds 5 and 6, three times. Line up your feet to be below each eye. I kept 4 sts between each foot. Fasten off and weave in your end.
