This no-sew crochet chick free pattern is something special, I promise! After creating the crochet Easter Egg Surprise collection (which featured adorable little amigurumi hidden inside a crochet egg, like an angel and a tiny lamb), I wanted to design something different this year. I envisioned a project that would be just as cute, quick to make, and perfect for gifting, stuffing Easter baskets, surprise giveaways, crochet keychains, and more!

And that’s how the Crochet Chicks in Disguise collection was born! Today, I’m sharing the no-sew crochet chick pattern, and in just a few days, I’ll be revealing their adorable disguises. Stay tuned!

No-sew Crochet Chick amigurumi free pattern
Materials:
- 2mm crochet hooks,
- Yellow and orange sports-weight yarn
- Sewing needle,
- Stuffing material hypoallergenic polyester,
- Scissors
Finished Size
The finished amigurumi chick measures approximately 2″ (5 cm) tall and 2″ (5 cm) wide. However, the final size may vary depending on your stitch tension and the materials used.
Gauge
Gauge is not crucial for this pattern, so feel free to use a hook size that matches your chosen yarn. I always recommend using a slightly smaller hook to keep the stitches tight and prevent the stuffing from showing through. If needed, adjust your hook size for a neater finish.
However, if you’d like to know the gauge for my chosen yarn and materials, here it is:
With sport-weight yarn and a 2mm crochet hook, the gauge for 5 rounds (increasing to 30 stitches) measures approximately 1.6″ (4.5 cm).

- Add highlights: With a small amount of white thread, embroider a line on the outer edge of each eye.
- Embroider the feet: Using orange yarn and starting two rounds under the beak, embroider three lines under the chick. Leave one stitch of space between them at the top, and have all three lines meet at a single stitch at the bottom. Each line should span three rounds in length.
- Add blush: With pink yarn, embroider a small straight line (about the size of a stitch) below each eye.
