If you’re ready for some Easter knitting, this Spring Chicken pattern is perfect for you. Eight pages of illustrated instructions take you step-by-step through knitting and making up a plump hen, perfect to make as an Easter gift and just the right size for small hands to hold.

Measuring 24cm tall, you can knit two chicks from the recommended white Stylecraft Special Chunky ball of yarn. And one can easily be knitted up in an afternoon if you’re short on time for making Easter presents! The pattern is suitable for knitters with basic skills (casting on and off, knit stitch, purl stitch and increase/decrease) and she is knitted flat so no knitting in the round is needed.

(Nb the ‘Hello Spring’ sign is not part of the pattern.)
