Crochet Chicken Pattern … Little Crochet Chick Bean Bag Pattern

Work up this crochet chicken pattern to add some easy farm friends to your decor. I love how adorable my little crochet chick looks propped on my kitchen windowsill!

I found these adorable fabric bean bag chicks on Gluesticks Blog and envisioned them as cute little Spring pets to decorate my kitchen. But since you already know I don’t drag my sewing machine out often, I decided to crochet them instead. And there was hatched (ha ha) this cute crochet chicken pattern.
