What do you need?
Knitting wool, yellow
Knitting needles no. 4
Scissors
A large needle
Small pieces of felt, black and orange
We knit a cute chick in one or two quiet hours, in which you can hide a surprise. We're going to make a little monster very happy with it, on Easter. The older monsters can already knit the chicks themselves, from about 9 or 10 years old. They really enjoy doing it, because you only knit plain straight stitches. :))
How to knit a cute Easter chick
Cast on 30 stitches.
Knitting 2 needles makes one ridge.
Knit 8 ridges straight.
..., knit out the needle
Knit the needle, tie off 10 stitches again.
Now you have 10 stitches left in the middle.
Knit the 10 stitches straight, forth and back.
Knit four ridges for the head.
Cast off all 10 stitches.
Sew the bottom neatly closed.
Close the back of the chick too.
Close the top of the head.
Leave needle and thread and fill the head.
Close it on the inside but do not pull the thread.
Pull the thread only very gently and then tie it off, just to make the head a little rounder
Sew on the eyes and a beak of felt.
And your Easter Chick is ready, stuff it with a treat!
Wishing you a happy Easter Day!
