Cute and Funny Chick Knitting Pattern

Look at this cute and funny chick for little things. For making it, you'll need:

Materials Needed

• Needles: Size US 8 single point
• Also needed: 2 black buttons (7/16 inch), yarn needle, needle and thread, orange felt, and fiber fill

Instructions

Cast on 38 stitches.

Knit 12 rows in garter stitch.

Cast on 1 stitch at the beginning of the next 6 rows (44 stitches).

Cast off 12 stitches of the beginning of the next 2 rows (you will be left with 20 stitches).

Knit 12 rows.

Break yarn leaving a 10 inch tail. Thread through remaining stitch and pull to tighten.

Assembly

To make the head- sew the back seam, but stop before you reach the “flat” part. This is the opening for the basket.

Using a yarn needle, sew the bottom and side seam closed.

Sew the button eyes on.

Creating the Beak

To make the beak- cut a diamond shape out of felt that’s approximately 1 1/4 inches tall from top to bottom point.

Fold the felt in half and stitch along the edge. This creates the beak shape. Sew the beak on to the chick.

Lastly, stuff the head and the bottom with fiber fill.
