Meet! Pirate chick.I made him when I was designing baby chick pattern at the same time.
I thought,If he has a pirate hat would be nice,however I am to lazy to do.So If you make a pirate hat for him you can also share the picture at my flickr group.I would love to see all your creation.
Finish Size
-Approximately 4.5-5.5 inch.
-Size varies depending on the size of yarn and crochet hook
Materials
To make you will need
1. Acrylic yarn, for this pattern, I normally used 8 ply
2. Plastic eyes with safety backing 7.5 mm (you can find it at any craft shop)
3. Polyester fiberfill for stuffing
4. Sewing yarn needle and embroidery
5. Ribbon or button
7. Crochet hook size1.25mm and craft glue
In this pattern, you will be working in the round continuously, you may use a contrasting colour short piece of yarn to mark the beginning of each round. When you end a round, do not join at the end of each round; you will begin the second round in the next stitch.
At the end of each round, I have given the number of stitches you should have .If you are off by 1or 2 stitches, do not worry about it.
Skill and abbreviations
You will need to know how to make a magic ring or adjustable ring
–Single crochet (sc)
-Crochet increase (inc) which mean-make 2 single crochet in same stitch
-Crochet decrease (dec) which mean-Crochet 2 stitches together
-Stitch (st)
* = Repeat stitches from * to end of *
-Chain (ch)
–Slip stitch (sl st)
