Baby chicks are cute. Baby chicks are fuzzy & soft. Baby chicks poop a lot. A. LOT. Baby chicks turn into noisy, ill-tempered chickens who peck the hand that feeds them.

Chickies are the answer. These guys will always stay little & sweet, plus no poop! They literally use scraps of yarn, so they’re the perfect stashbuster, and they’re so quick to knit that you can have a whole Chickie Army by Easter (with or without eyeballs).

Plus there is NO SEWING in this entire pattern!

The examples are knit on US size 3 DPNs (or circs & Magic Loop) with various worsted weight cotton & acrylic yarns, but virtually any yarn could be used. The examples average about 3 1/2 inches tall, but size will change depending on choice of yarn & needle. Stitch descriptions & lots of photos are included.
