Crochet Baby Chicken Tutorial
Quick Summary and Skill Level: Beginner. Need to crochet a basic chubby body by working in the round using basic crochet stitches. Color-change and bobble stitch are also required for crocheting the legs, which makes it very low-sew. You will crochet the flappers separately by following a pattern of half-double crochet, single crochet, and double crochet, and attach them in the end.
The beak also needs a pattern of half-double crochet and double crochet, and a bit of single crochet. The shell is just a half-sphere with shell edging in the final rounds. The comb is crocheted in flat rows. Everything is assembled using sewing.
Quick Tips: You can crochet the comb in red, also other than orange. The tutor, like other amigurumi, suggests using a thin plush yarn. You can also crochet this baby chick using standard yarn. You can crochet a small Santa hat for your baby chicken, like in Crochet Christmas chicks.
