Knit the cutest little spring chicks with this free chicken knitting pattern from Fuzzy Mitten – it’s the perfect stash-busting project! You can use any yarn you have in your collection to create these fluffy friends. If you use DK weight yarn on 3.25 mm needles, your chick will turn out to be around 3 inches long, making it a perfect size for decor or gifts.
This free chicken knitting pattern is worked flat on straight needles and then seamed up, making it super approachable even if you are new to knitting toys. For the finishing touches, you can use small pieces of felt for the beak and feet, or simply embroider them with a bit of scrap yarn. It’s a flexible, fuss-free project that makes a sweet Easter basket surprise or a charming springtime gift. Soft, fluffy, and seriously adorable – this little chick is hard to resist!
