Wheat Stitch™ Crochet Chick
Meet your new favorite Easter make — the Wheat Stitch™ Crochet Chick. 🐣
This adorable heart-shaped chick is worked in one piece, beginning at the base of the heart and crocheted upward in joined and turned rounds. At the top, the work is split evenly to form two rounded curves, creating that sweet heart silhouette.
The body features my signature Wheat Stitch™ texture, paired with simple back-loop single crochet increase rounds for clean shaping and structure. A small amount of brushed yarn creates fluffy wings for the cutest finishing touch. Print out one of the included gift tags, tie it on with a bit of twine, and let your little chick go out into the world looking egg-stra official and dangerously adorable.
A video tutorial is included in the pattern.
