The Spring Chick Shelfie is the perfect, quick little project to add to your Spring and/or Easter decor. Put your chick(s) on a shelf, give a bookcase a touch of Spring, sit it on a side table, etc. or make them as an Easter basket surprise for your special little love(s)—for whatever reason you make it, you’ll love your happy little chick!

The Spring Chick Shelfie works up quickly. It is crocheted in a continuous spiral. The shell, body, neck & head are one piece. The wings, beak and feet (if choosing not to make hanging legs) are sewn on.
