I have been playing with joining repeat motifs as you knit to make a more interesting scarf for adults & children. You knit the feet & bottoms of the chick separately , leave them on your circular needles, then join together. You finish the heads one at a time, then knit wings, caps & beaks separately. The tails are knit on. Everything except the beaks is knit with one strand of
stylecraft special yarn & 1 strand of mohair. The beaks are in plain DK
Even a beginner should be able to complete this successfully.
