Baby Chick Amigurumi Pattern

Remember Jenny And Teddy Etsy shop that I mentioned in my How-To Amigurumi tutorial? Jane, the girl behind the shop who sells amigurumi patterns and the finished dolls. She is here to teach us how to crochet a little cutie baby chick amigurumi. I heart it when Jane showed me the photo of this baby chick amigurumi and I can’t wait to share this easy pattern that she specially designed for Craft Passion with you. She used lightweight acrylic yarn with a matching 1.25mm hook size to make this 3- 3 1/2″ little baby chick amigurumi. You can always substitute with other yarn and a matching hook size (read here on how to choose a correct hook size for amigurumi).

Jane has a personal blog under the same name “JennyAndTeddy” where she journals the amigurumi tips together with her amigurumi designing journey. You will also find some other cute amigurumi patterns in her personal blog too.

Besides, Jane is so generous that she is going to giveaway one her finished doll: Lady Bug Sofia, designed and made by herself. The giveaway is open to accept comment now, please enter a comment to stand a chance to bring Sofia home before it’s gone.

Baby Chick Amigurumi

Crochet Pattern by jennyandteddy
(You are allowed to sell the finished dolls that are made out of my original pattern because I love crafters who made this doll with love and care.)

Finish Size
Approximately 4″
Size varies depending on the size of yarn and crochet hook

Materials
To make you will need
1. Acrylic yarn, yellow and orange
2. Safety Eyes 8mm, blue iris (you can purchase them here)
3. Polyester fiber fill for stuffing
4. Sewing needle and embroidery
5. Ribbon or button
7. Crochet hook size 3mm or the size that match your choice of yarn
8. Craft glue

Note
The size of the crochet hook really does not matter. The doll design will work just fine with different sizes of yarn with a matching hook, it will only affect the finished doll size.
In this pattern, you will be working in a continuous round, you may use a short length of contrasting color yarn to mark the beginning of each round. When you finish a round, do not join at the end of each round, instead continue single crochet the next stitch to begin a new round and work spirally upward.
In the pattern, I have given the number of stitches you should have at the end of each round. If you are off by 1 or 2 stitches, do not worry about it.
