Free Easter Chicken Crochet Pattern

I'm so excited to share this free Easter Chicken pattern with you! This little chick is one of my favorite Easter projects - tiny, fluffy, and incredibly quick to make with chunky yarn.

The finished chick is about 6 cm (2.36 inches) tall — perfect for an Easter basket or as a cute decoration!
