Easter Chicks!

I have started knitting some homemade Easter gifts this week.

They are so easy to make and I have been using up odd balls of wool, although I have ordered some fluffy yellow eyelash yarn to make some more.

The pattern is knitted in one piece of garter stitch.

• Cast on 26 sts.

• Knit 28 rows in Garter stitch

• New Row – K2 tog, all across row.
  

• Break off yarn leaving an end long enough to thread through remaining stitches.

• Pull up remaining 13 stitches tightly and fasten off.

• Stitch with a back seam then thread a running stitch through at this point to form neck.

• Stuff head then pull up thread at neck and fasten off tightly.

• I have used stick on goggle eyes that I had but you could easily just stitch them on. I also used some leftover felt to make beaks.
