Get ready to fall in love.  Introducing the darling Crochet Chick pattern.  Fun for spring.  A great addition for a special Easter basket or even for your office to welcome in Spring.

I don’t know what it is but the cheery yellow and orange reminds me of warm, sunnier days–all the things that signal spring is in the air!

This crochet chick uses the crochet egg pattern.  I worked hard to design an egg that would be just-right narrow at the top and then gradually build to chunky, rounded bottom.  And who doesn’t love a project that can be worked right from your stash pile!
