MATERIALS

• Main Yarn: 1 skein of Alchemy’s Kozmos, 30% silk, 26% mohair, 31% cotton, 13% wool. You need one skein for each chick. I used the colors “Michelle’s Marigold” (foreground) and “Canary” (background).
• Contrast Yarn: A small amount of coordinating DK weight yarn for the beak and legs. I used Rowan’s Handknit Cotton, 100% cotton. These colors are #336 Sunflower (bottom) and #325 Primrose (top).
• A very small amount of scrap yarn for the eyes
• A set of US 7 (4.5 mm) double-pointed needles
• A set of US 5 (3.75 mm) double-pointed needles (for the beak and legs)
• Stuffing
• A very small amount of fabric (about 8 inches by 8 inches) in either a neutral color or the color of your chick. The fabric is for the bean bag that goes inside the chick to weigh it down. I used Robert Kauffman’s Kona Cotton in the color “Lemon”.
• A handful of lentils for the bean bag.
