Spring Chicken family

There's a real sense of excitement in the hen house now that spring is finally here. Chicks have been hatching left, right and center and now the whole family is getting ready for the annual Easter Parade. This is a detailed written pattern for Mama Chicken, Little chick, Hatchling, Nest and Mini Easter Eggs. Lots of complimentary photos are included as well, to help you along the way. When made with light worsted weight (DK/8 ply) yarn and a 3 mm Mama Chicken measures approximately 7” (18 cm) tall from tip to toe - or 6” (15 cm) when seated. The Little Chicks are 2½” (7 cm) tall. Hatchlings and Eggs are 2” (5 cm) tall. Recommended safety eye size - Mama Chicken - 8 mm, Little Chick and Hatchling - 5 mm. My patterns are written in American crochet terminology and include a handy stitch conversion chart so you can translate to British crochet terms instead should you wish to.
