Decorate your home with these easy-to-crochet nesting chicks! Follow my chick crochet pattern and nest crochet pattern as well!

 

Easter is right around the corner and it’s nice to have a little décor that signifies its coming. I really like the Polish Pysanky and therefore I made a nest for them. But the nest is not complete without the chicks and that’s how I created a nesting chicks crochet pattern.

Let’s follow my nesting chicks crochet pattern!

 

First, I’ll show you how to crochet the body for a chick. It measures around 2.25″ in diameter.

1: Start with yellow yarn and a magic circle. Work 6sc into the center of the circle. Join with a slip stitch. (6 sc)

IMPORTANT!  Join with sl st after every round and Ch 1 to start the next round.

2: 2sc in each sc around (12sc)

3: (sc in next sc, 2sc in next sc) around (18sc)

4: (sc in next 2 sc, 2sc in next sc) around (24sc)

5-8: sc in every sc around (24)

9: (sc in next 2 sc, sc2tog) around (18)

10: (sc in next sc, sc2tog) around (12)

11: sc2tog around (6)

Cut the yarn leaving a long tail, hand stitch the opening close, and snip the yarn to about ¼ “ long. Run the needle with yarn through the top of the body close to the sticking yarn and make a knot. Snip the yarn and that will make a nice chick fluff.

Next, let’s make a beak for the chick.

 Thread yarn needle with orange yarn and run it through the body from the back to the front. Embroider V in the upper half of the body and run the needle to the back. Cut the yarn tails very close to the body that the ends will slide in inside the body.

Now, I’ll teach you how to make eyes for the crochet chick.

 Using black yarn embroider the eyes in the same manner as the beak.

 

 

Next, crochet two wings.

1. Using yellow yarn ch 2.

2. Sc, hdc, 2dc, hdc, sc in second ch from the hook

3. Cut the yarn leaving a long tail and make a knot with the beginning yarn tail. And, then snip the yarn tails.

 

Now, crochet a tail for the chick.

1. Ch2 with yellow yarn

2. Sc, hdc, 4dc, hdc, sc in second ch from the hook

3. Finish off as with wings.

Finally, crochet two feet.

1. Using orange yarn ch 2

2. Sc, 2hdc, sc in second ch from the hook

3. Finish off.

Hot glue all the pieces together and make as many chicks as you like.

 

 

Now, let’s learn how to crochet a nest!

 And, the nest measures around 6.5″ in diameter.

 

1. Using brown bulky yarn start with a magic circle and work 8 sc into the center of the circle. Join with a slip stitch. (8sc)

Join with sl st after every round and Ch 1 to start the next round.

 

2. 2sc in each sc around (16)

3. 2sc in next sc, sc in next sc around (24)

4. 2sc in next sc, sc in next 2 sc around (32)

5. 2sc in next sc, sc in next 3 sc around (40)

6. Sc in each sc around (40)

7. 2sc in next sc, sc in next 4 sc around (48)

8. Sc in each sc around (48)

9. 2sc in next sc, sc in next 5 sc around (56)

10-15. Sc in each sc around – work those six rounds in rounds, just place a marker at the end of round 9. That way you know what round you are at while working in rounds.

Now, go back to sl st after every round and ch 1 to start the next round.

16. Sc2tog, sc in next 5 sc around (48)

17. sc in each sc around (48)

18. sc2tog, sc in next 4 sc around (40)

19. sc in each sc around (40)

20. sc2tog, sc in next 3 sc around (32)

21. sc2tog, sc in next 2 sc around (24)

22. sc2tog, sc in next sc around (16)

23. sc2tog around (8)

Finish off and push one half into another.
