Sweet chick dolls that have just hatched from the egg, with an eggshell on the head or body, are crocheted with a single hook in spiral. The two versions are crocheted as one unit without sewing, when the wings and beak, which were knitted earlier, are joined to the body while working. Finally, only the two legs remain to be sewn to the bottom. You can use 50 gr or 100 gr cotton threads.
The difference between the two versions is in the placement of the white eggshell, while the wings, beak and legs are identical. We will start with the identical parts and later the two versions of the body appear.
Materials needed for one doll:
- 1/4 roll of white thread.
- 1/3 roll of yellow thread.
- Some orange or red thread for the beak and legs.
- One crochet hook no. 2.5-3 for 50 gr thread or crochet hook no. 3.5-4 for 100 gr thread.
- A couple of small black safety eyes. Optional, you can embroider the eyes with black thread.
