What you need to know

Simple double crochet stitches make Val Pierce's mother hen and chicks crochet play set

Meet Matilda and her three little chicks. They’re so cute and cuddly and we love the colour effect of the marled yarn. This playset is ideal for both Easter celebrations and farmyard storytime. The chirpy chicks are the perfect size for little hands, but they do have small parts so make sure all the pieces are really securely sewn together.
