These two little chicks are egg shaped, would make a lovely Easter gift if you are looking for a handmade alternative to chocolate. You can knit your own eggy chicks with this pattern, which includes the two chicks (the plain yellow chick in a hat, and the yellow and white chick, plus the instructions to knit the striped hat). The little chicks are approximately 8.5cm tall (not including the hat). The pattern includes row numbers for each step so you don’t lose your place, instructions for making the chicks and hat, photos, a list of abbreviations and explanation of some techniques, a materials list and recommended yarns. The yellow and white chick knitting pattern incorporates fair-isle (or stranded) colour-work, and the pattern includes written instructions and a chart for the simple colour pattern. The chicks and hat are knitted flat on straight 3.5mm (US 4) knitting needles in double knitting (light worsted weight) yarn (less than 50g in each colour).
