Chick Body:

  1. Magic Ring: Start with a magic ring. If you’re not familiar with this technique, you can chain 2 and work the indicated number of stitches into the second chain from the hook.

Beak:

  1. With your orange yarn, make a small triangle by chaining 3 and then working 2 sc in the second chain from the hook. Fasten off and leave a tail for sewing.

Eyes:

  1. Use black yarn to sew on small eyes above the beak. You can use safety eyes or create French knots with the black yarn.

Assembly:

  2. Sew or embroider two small black eyes above the beak.
