Get ready for Easter – or just celebrate the joys of spring – with these adorable chicks.
Designed by Alan Dart, the Chick and Egg pattern is free to download from his website.
Each chick takes just a small amount of the colours shown so they're a great way to use up small amounts of stash – or a really economical way to make lovely gifts! They'll last longer than a chocolate egg, too...
The chicks would also make excellent and unusual name-card holders and party favours at a child's birthday – with or without the eggs. Or why not host an egg decorating party and let each child embellish their own egg with scraps of yarn, beads and sequins?
