Little Chickies

Today, I'm showing some cute little plushie chicks I crocheted. 

                                       Attack of the clones!

 (Syd-Brizee, stop the sci-fi jokes!) (Brizee-No.) 

Anyway, after my sister's bad joke, I'm going to do my best to give you an idea of how to make these. I found the idea for the plushie in a book called "Cuddly Crochet" from the library, so if you want a solid pattern you can buy that. 

• Start out by making a magic ring.
•  Crochet in a spiral shape until you get a sphere, but DON'T CLOSE IT OFF JUST YET.
• Make a second slightly bigger one, don't close up this one either.
• On the smaller sphere make two french knots for the eyes.
• Make a small magic ring and crochet until you get a small circle (not a sphere, a circle!) for the beak.
• Make two square shapes for the feet.
• Make two triangles for the wings. To do this, you pretty much make a square, but on each row, skip one hole until you have a point.
• Sew the feet, wings, and beak onto their respective locations.
• Stuff the spheres that we told you not to finish off.
• Sew the head onto the body (the smaller sphere onto the bigger sphere).
• Enjoy!

Optional: tie ribbon around the neck for a cuteness level of OVER 9,000!

(Syd-Brizee, I told you to stop with the jokes!) (Brizee- NEVER!)

....Anyway, see you next time!
