“Sweet Little Chicks”
These cute chicks with their bright colors and patterns simply bring good mood into your home.
The body of the chicks consists of “Doppelmaschen” - this makes them wonderfully suitable for embroidery. There are no limits here - you can embroider them as shown with cross stitch or flowers, but also with other embroidery stitches. Of course, you can also vary the colors and color division as you like.

You can use the Sweet Little Chicks as a table decoration, they are also super cute as edge stools. Of course, they also do well on the Easter bush. You can use them as key or bag rings.

Perfect for recycling leftovers and also a super sweet gift.

!! The offer is only valid for the chicks - The instructions for the small baskets can also be found in my store !!

Skills Required / What You’ll Receive
The chicks are crocheted with the Doppelmasche. For this stitch you will receive a very detailed instruction with text, step pictures and crochet diagram for the first rounds.

Variant: Alternatively, I have also enclosed instructions for a with sc worked single-colored chick (see light blue chicken with purple crosses) - the instructions for this are in text form (without step pictures and crochet diagram)

Other stitches used: ch, slst, sc, hdc, dc, magic ring
