Welcome to the world of amigurumi! If you love crafting handmade toys, this adorable crochet chick is a perfect project for beginners and experienced crocheters alike. In this guide, I’ll walk you through every step, from selecting materials to adding cute details that bring your chick to life.
Materials You’ll Need:
- Yarn: Soft, yellow amigurumi yarn (cotton or acrylic)
- Crochet Hook: 2mm or appropriate size for your yarn
- Safety Eyes: Small black safety eyes or tiny buttons
- Stuffing: Polyester fiberfill for shaping
- Additional Colors: Orange yarn for the beak, pink for optional blush details
- Needle & Scissors: Essential for assembling parts
Step-by-Step Crochet Instructions:
1. Creating the Head & Body

Start with a magic ring and crochet in rounds to create the chick’s round body. The shape should be plump and slightly oval. Gradually increase stitches to expand the form, then decrease towards the end to close it securely.
2. Making the Wings

Crochet two small oval-shaped wings separately and attach them to the body. These will add charm and give your chick a lively look.
3. Adding the Beak & Eyes

Using orange yarn, craft a small triangle for the beak. Position the safety eyes symmetrically, ensuring a cute and expressive appearance. Sew the beak carefully to keep its shape intact.
4. Assembling the Feet

Create tiny feet using orange yarn, following simple crochet techniques. Attach them firmly to the bottom of the body to provide balance.
5. Final Details & Customization

For extra personality, add a small hat or bow, embroider tiny cheeks with pink yarn, or create a fluffy tail at the back. Feel free to experiment with different colors and textures!
