Chick Easter Egg Free Crochet Pattern

Updated: Feb 28, 2021



Hi my crafty friends and...happy Tuesday!


Can you believe February is almost over? Time really flies, doesn't it?


Now that we have left Valentine's day behind, with all its wonderful and sweet crafts, it's time to start working on some cute Easter projects.


When I think about Easter, the first thing that comes to my mind are all those little colorful eggs that kids love hunting for. So I decided to design something to make the egg hunt even more fun!


Here are three lovely egg-shaped Easter iconic animals - a chick, a bunny and a sheep.


Today I'll be sharing with you all the first one...an adorable little Chick!


Stick around for the other two characters whose patterns will be online in the next few weeks.
