What you need to know

Two Easter chick patterns from Susie Johns - knit or crochet, you decide!

They might have their differences – one being knitted and the other crocheted – but our two Easter chicks still have a good yolk together. Designed by Susie Johns, our egg-stra special birdies are perfect for all manner of Easter celebrations and make great prizes for games and other festivities! You can place a plastic egg inside the chick to give it a good shape or alternatively, use stuffing to create a softer toy.
