Easter chick pattern

I am so excited to release my latest pattern with you! These little chubby crochet ragdoll chicks are a perfect addition to those Easter baskets!

Today we are testing out a new style for pattern part. This template is supposed to give you a pattern structure and overview. Also, there is an addition to print it, for free, if you wish so! Please tell me what you think of the new layout in the comments below.

The video pattern is available in German and English. The written pattern is in English only. Keep scrolling to get to the good stuff.

These little chicks are quick and easy to make. Like all my ragdoll patterns, they are made with two separate panels. The crochet ragdoll chicks are very simple to make since the pattern mostly consists of single crochet.

3.5 mm crochet hook. Make 2 panels in white colored

Row 1: ch 5, 1 sc in the 2nd ch from the
hook and in each ch, ch 1 turn = 4 sc

Row 2: sc inc x 4, ch 1, turn= 8 sc

Row 3: sc inc x 2, 4 sc, sc inc x 2, ch 1, turn = 12
sc

Row 4: sc inc, 10 sc, sc inc, ch 1, turn = 14 sc

sc

Row 8: sc2tog, 12 sc, sc2tog, ch 1, turn = 14 sc

Row 9: sc2tog, 10 sc, sc2tog, ch 1, turn = 12 sc

Now we will be making the points of the eggshell. Don’t fasten off, but continue:

*Row 1: 4 sc, ch 1, turn = 4 sc

Row 2: sc2tog x 2, ch 1, turn = 2 sc

Row 3: sc2tog = 1 sc

Ch 1, sl st 3 times, until you get to row 9 again. *
Continue in the next stitch and repeat *-* 2 more times.

Make another panel. Fasten off the first eggshell, but
not the second.
Place them on top of each other and sc them together.
Remember to only close three sides. The upper part is left open, this is where
the chick is being placed. Fasten off and weave in ends.

stitches space apart (or whatever looks best). Sew on the beak, cheeks,
eyebrows/lashes and cheeks under the eyes.

not where the neck is. Stuff the head and the body part. Sl st in the first and don’t fasten off.

Now make the hair:
