FREE Baby Chicks Crochet Pattern

Since Easter is coming, I’ve got another FREE Easter crochet pattern for you today. These chicks would work up in very little time (at least for one of the chicks, not a dozen of them)!

This is the “Baby Chicks in Eggshells” pattern by Lani Herschensohn of the Red Hot Fibers website. You can find this adorable pattern here. This is what Lani wrote about the pattern:

“This pattern is a great way to make a game for young children. Mix up the baby chicks and the shells and the child learns to match their colors. It helps with their fine motor skills as they match up the correct chick with the eggshell.”

The pattern doesn’t say anything about stuffing the chicks, but I think I’d stuff them with some polyester fiberfill to help them keep their shape.

I hope you enjoy this FREE crochet pattern.

FREE Amish Puzzle Ball crochet pattern

I love jigsaw puzzles and crochet puzzle balls are fabulous! Dedri Uys has designed a lot of them (she’s a pro with these designs!). Today’s FREE crochet pattern is one of Dedri’s patterns that is available on her website.

It’s her Amish Crochet Flower Puzzle Ball. You can find this FREE pattern here. The pattern includes a LOT of step-by-step photos. This puzzle ball is made with DK weight yarn and a size G (4 mm) crochet hook.

Dedri also has an Amamani Puzzle Balls book that is published by Annie’s. These other puzzle balls are made in the shape of animals! They’re adorable!!! You can read all about Dedri’s Amamani Puzzle Balls book in the book review I wrote in my blog post last September here.

I hope you enjoy this FREE crochet pattern and have lots of fun crocheting this flower puzzle ball!

FREE Crochet Necklace Pattern

Today’s FREE crochet pattern is perfect for springtime, since spring is technically right around the corner (next week)! It’s my Mod Flower Necklace from Red Heart Yarn.

You can get this FREE crochet pattern on the Red Heart website here. I designed this necklace with a size D (3.25 mm) crochet hook and Aunt Lydia’s Baker’s Cotton. This yarn/thread has a solid color plied with white. It’s really quite nice, and it’s soft, too! You can read about Baker’s Cotton and see all of the available colors here. Because the flowers on necklaces can have a tendency to turn to the wrong side while being worn, I made double the flowers so each flower is 2-sided. And I added a button on each side, so there’s always a right side showing!

I hope you enjoy this FREE crochet pattern.

Happy crocheting,

FREE Marshmallow Bunny Crochet Pattern

I found this FREE Marshmallow Bunny pattern and I had to share it with you for today’s FREE crochet pattern! I think these bunnies are adorable and I LOVE the colors that are used!

The FREE pattern is available on Ravelry here. The designer has made many bunnies and joined them together to make a scarf. Here’s the scarf for you to see:

You could make this bunny scarf, sew these bunnies onto a baby blanket, baby hat, baby bib, etc or use them any way you choose! They measure 6 1/2″ long x 3″ wide, as shown. The bunnies are made with worsted weight yarn and an E hook (I think the designer used a smaller hook than usual to make them very solid). If you want smaller marshmallow bunnies, consider using size 10 crochet thread and a steel hook.

I hope you enjoy this FREE Easter pattern. Easter is just under 3 weeks away, so it’s time to get hopping (pun intended)!

Happy crocheting,
