I have seen some cute Dixie's and I am so happy that you're joining me! I think I like the look of Charlie a little better than Dixie. Maybe it's because of his hair? Anyway, they are both cute and I am looking forward to seeing your versions!
Charlie the chick has blue pants and a stylish scarf.
If you look closer at the scarf you can see that the stitches look a little different than normal crochet stitches. They look a little different because it isn't normal crochet, it's Tunisian crochet!
I thought it would be fun to include something a little different, and maybe those of you who haven't tried Tunisian crochet before will give it a go.
I have made a little video tutorial on how to make the scarf. If you like the video, be sure to subscribe to my channel!
I actually didn't plan to make so many chicks, this is my third chick pattern this season. So I'd say that next year I should focus on a different animal for next Easter, maybe bunnies :).
The best thing about these patterns is that they are very quick to make! The Easter crochet chicks are about 13 cm tall, without the feet. They would make a perfect addition to those Easter baskets!

The
body and the head are made in one piece. All parts, except the feet, are made
in continuous rounds. Use a stitch marker to mark the beginning of each round. Stuff firmly, but not so that the filling
material can be seen through the stitches. The scarf is made with Tunisian
