    Easter chick with creme egg body

    To make a chick you will need...

    1. Small amount of yellow DK yarn
    2. A pair of needles UK size 3.75mm / 9 / US 5
    3. Small amount of stuffing for the head
    4. Small piece of felt for the beak
    5. Chocolate egg, plastic or hard boiled!

    Body:

    Cast on 26 stitches.

    1. Row 1: K1, increase 1, K to the end.
    2. Repeat first row until you have 36 stitches on the needle (10 rows)
    3. Knit four rows. (14 rows)

    Shape the tail:

    1. Row 1: K3, bring yfwd, slip next stitch, ybk, move slip stitch back to left needle. Turn
    2. Row 2: K3 to end
    3. Row 3: K2, bring yfwd, slip next stitch, ybk, move slip stitch back to left needle. Turn
    4. Row 4: K2 to end
    5. Row 5: Cast off 10 stitches, K to end
    6. Repeat last five row for the other side to shape tail.
    7. You will have 16 stitches left in the centre of your knitting.
    Head:
    1. Rows 1-4: Knit
    2. Row 5: K1, K2tog, K to last three stitches, K2tog, K1.
    3. Rows 6-8: Same as row 5
    4. Rows 9-10: Knit

    This will leave you with 8 stitches. Cut the yarn leaving a length 30cm (12") long.Thread a needle with the 30cm length and run it through the 8 remaining stitches, pull them tight. Continue with the yarn to sew up the head, back and side leaving a hole big enough to insert an egg. Stuff the head lightly. Insert the egg, this will give you the body shape making it easy to see where the neck should be. With a needle threaded with the yarn, do a running stitch to cinch the neck (not too tight) fasten off securely. The eyes are french knots made from black yarn. Sew on a beak made from red felt

    Fluffy Chicks

    Using my basic Chick Pattern I made some fluffy additions, see them here. I used Fancy Yarn (Fur) instead of the DK yarn and a pair of size 3.75mm (9 UK, 5 US) size needles, you may require larger or smaller size needles, depending on your knitting tension.

    gave these to my friends for easter. i thought chicks were appropriate because they're not too easter-y and once the creme egg's gone (which is very very quick) they can be used as egg cosies to keep non-chocolate eggs warm. Smiley
    i was inspired by the egg cosies posted last year, but i winged a short-row pattern so that i had less seaming. here's roughly what i did:

    cast on 10 sts
    row 1: k8, wrap and turn
    row 2: k across
    repeat rows 1-2 until the 'top' looks circular (try fitting an egg into the half-knitted cosy & see if the two edges meet at the top). then:
    row 3: k7, wrap and turn
    row 4: k across
    row 5: k6, wrap and turn
    row 6: k across
    cast off

    i find in casting off that it looks neater if, when you reach the last two sts, you pull the loop on the right needle THROUGH the loop on the left needle. then just sew up the seam, weave in the ends and sew on beads for eyes and a piece of felt for the beak.

    hope that's clear. happy easter!
