Are you looking for a fun Easter amigurumi crochet pattern to make quickly? Than let me introduce you to Emma, Ruby and Bernie, these adorable chick siblings.
Pin it now, make it later!
My daughter’s favourite animals were always chickens. Every Easter we went shop by shop to buy all the chick toys we could find, as this is the only time of the year when these cuties are for sale. When I was thinking about my new Easter range, I knew I had to make some chickens for her. When I showed her the three finished dolls, she had so much love in her eyes.
Although she is all grown up now and she doesn’t play anymore, she was still totally out of breath because of the cuteness.
Caution!
Please be very cautious when you make toys for babies or children under the age of 3. If you sew parts on it, make sure they are secure and safe.
I recommend, to embroider the eyes, as the plastic safety eyes can be dangerous. My tutorial for embroidery eyes can be found here.

Level: Beginner friendly
Size of the finished doll if using the same yarn and hook size: 11cm (not including the legs)
Please keep in mind, that I am using the yarn under technique. With this, the stitches are smaller and tighter, making the finished product smaller in size. If you yarn over, your finished product will be bigger. If you would like to achieve the same size as me and you yarn over, consider using a size smaller hook.
