Knitting Patterns for Little Chicks

March 28, 2014 by Sarah White Leave a Comment

Spring is here and what better way to celebrate the season than by knitting some cute little chicks! These adorable chick-inspired patterns are perfect for Easter and the spring season. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced knitter, these patterns will help you create something special and unique. From soft and huggable baby chicks to cute Easter egg decorations, you’ll find a pattern that will suit your skill level and style.

So, grab your needles and yarn and get ready to create something truly special with these little chick-inspired knitting patterns. Regardless of whether it actually feels like spring where you live, these patterns will bring some warmth and cheer to your home.

Spring cleaning can be a little more fun when you do it with a spring-themed washcloth. Try the Spring Chicken Washcloth by Eileen Casey or Melissa’s Little Chick Dishcloth (via the Wayback Machine).

Little chicks are fun to knit and great for little kids to play with or find in their Easter baskets. I like Raverly user gitwerg’s fuzzy Easter chick, but there’s also the Spring Chick from Fuzzy Mitten (aka Barbara Prime), Purl Soho’s Fuzzy Easter Chicks with wings and teensy Easter eggs, or the fun Chick ‘n Eggs from Yellow Thread Knits, which are sort of chicken and egg all in one.

Alan Dart also has an adorable chicken and egg pattern with a larger half egg for the chick to nestle in.

Christine Grant has a cute pair of chick baby boots, and the Little Chick Bath Puppet from BrileyKnits would bring a lot of fun to bath time.

If you have a little kid in your life you may also want to check out my new pattern for a Kid’s Chick Hat over at CraftBits.

Christmas Stocking Knitting Patterns for Your Pets

I’ve shared a lot of Christmas stocking knitting patterns over the years (see posts 1, 2, 3 for example) but what if you want to knit a stocking for a non-human member of your family. If you’re looking for Christmas stocking knitting patterns for your cats or dogs, this is the post for you.

These large paw print stockings are perfect for either dogs or cats, so they’re great to knit if you have both. They are worked in the round using DK weight yarn, and the stocking measures about 17 inches/43 cm from the top to the heel. You can get the pattern from nicolaluke.

The K4 Project has a super cute Kitty Christmas stocking pattern, which is worked in worsted weight yarn. They also have a dog version, or you can buy both and get a discount if you have both dogs and cats to knit for. Both projects have two patterns, showing how to work the stockings flat or in the round.

Put your dog into a Christmas scene with this stocking pattern from ifanhourChild. It shows a dog in a dog house in the snow, and has room for the dog’s name at the top. It’s worked flat using worsted weight yarn and the pattern includes charts for many small and medium dog breeds (there’s a separate listing for bigger dogs) so you can stitch a dog that looks like yours.

Annie’s Woolens has both dog and cat stocking knitting patterns that are worked in worsted weight yarn in the round. You can change up the colors to suit your pet if you want, and they come with an alphabet chart for personalization. Or you can stick with holiday colors and buy a kit to make the dog or cat stocking.

Waiting for Santa Paws is a pattern from Kate Agner on Ravelry that would be cute for a dog or a cat. It looks like a leg with a paw print on the bottom part of the foot and more paw prints running around the top of the leg. This is a great option if you don’t want to mess with a heel turn because it doesn’t have a heel, because dogs and cats don’t have heels so why would their stockings?
