What you will need to crochet the Baby Chick
YARN – Any Type Chunky Blanket Yarn (I used snug as a bug Yarnsmiths But I would NOT recommend this yarn! It frays and is hard to pull through)
and a small piece of orange yarn for the beak
scissors
needle
NOTE: YOu can also use 2 strands of worsted weight yarn held together!
Crochet Hook size – I used a 6.00mm

Make wings 2
Rnd 1: ch2, and work 6sc into the first chain (6)
Rnd 2: *2sc in next st, sc in next st,* repeat around (9)
Rnd3: sc in each stitch around (9)
Rnd4: sc in nxt stitch, 2sctog in nxt st (6sts)
FOLD in HALF and sc across the top 3sts of wing to close
You will join these onto the body later (if you are confident in joining pieces as you go you can add the wings at Rnd 11.
