#1. Tiny Easter Chick Free Knitting Pattern
Amanda Berry is one of my favorite toy knitting designers and this tiny chick maintains her status as a knitted toy expert!
This tiny chick is emerging from the egg and not too sure what’s going on at the moment.
The project is knitted flat on straight needles and then seamed so even beginners can make this adorable chick.

#2. Mini Chick Wall Hanging Free Crochet Pattern
Introducing the Mini Chick Wall Hanging! I’ve been wanting to design a wall hanging for a long time now and I just love how it turned out. It’s sweet and simple for Easter but would look equally amazing as nursery decor (just saying) and it’s small size makes it a nice quick project.
The pattern is super easy and includes a chart as well as written instructions. I wasn’t too fussed about how the back of my wall hanging looked so I chose to knot and trim the ends from the colour changes but you can always weave them in for a cleaner finish.

#3. Cheepy Washcloth Free Knitting Pattern
From the designer, “I try to publish a new pattern every year on my birthday as a thank you to all my friends and followers. This year’s design is for my six year old grandson, Marty, who loves baby chicks. Not chickens, just the chicks. He even has a blog where he writes stories about his pal, Cheepy, and his adventures. It was only natural then, that I should design a bib and cloth featuring Cheepy, which delighted Marty no end.”
The pattern includes both written instructions and a chart.
