No-Sew Chubby Amigurumi Chick Crochet Pattern

Are you a crafty mom who loves making things for your little ones but finds yourself saying, “I’ll make you one!” only to realize life gets in the way? Trust me, I’ve been there!

Recently, my kid stumbled across a crochet chick and couldn’t stop talking about it. This cute, egg-shaped chick—reminiscent of popular Squishmallows—quickly became the top item on her wish list.

With Easter just around the corner, I knew this crochet chick would make the perfect festive project. Determined to make it happen, she even dug through my yarn stash to find the perfect chenille yarn!

Despite not feeling my best and having put my crochet hook aside for weeks, her excitement and persistence reignited my creative spark. That night, I designed and crocheted the cutest plush crochet chick for her—all in one go!

This easy amigurumi crochet chick pattern is perfect for Easter baskets, springtime decorations, or just as a cuddly companion for your little ones.

This easy amigurumi crochet chick pattern is mostly no-sew, with the arms worked directly onto the body and only the beak sewn on. With its soft and squishy texture, adorable little feet made using bobble stitches, and handheld size, this chick will brighten anyone’s day.

Ready to get started? This crochet chick pattern is perfect for beginners and seasoned crocheters looking for a quick, fun project!
