Design Inspiration
When I think of Spring, I think of new baby chicks being born. This year I am working on farm animals for most of my designs. So of course, I needed baby chick, and I will be designing a chicken later in the year. I wanted to give you a quick-win crochet project.
This pattern is an easy and quick project. It can be crocheted in less than 2 hours. It only has one part that is sewn on and that is the beak. This pattern is perfect for the beginner in mind.
Here is a story about Suzy the Baby Chick by my 8 year old daughter Bella:
“She loves to cuddle and play. She will make you happy when you are sad by giving you a hug. She is so sweet. That’s Suzy the baby chick for you.”
