Craft the cutest companion for your keys with our No Sew Mini Chicken crochet pattern! This pint-sized poultry is quick and easy to whip up and NO SEW, meaning it’s a great project for beginners or a fast dopamine boost for experienced crocheters. These mini chicks are perfect to give as gifts, as a Random Act of Crochet Kindness, or to look adorable on your market stall.

This crochet pattern is written for pattern beginners and neurodiverse crafters. The abbreviated instructions are followed by a breakdown in italics making it easier to understand what you need to do in each round. If you’ve had trouble reading patterns in the past, we hope that you’ll give our patterns a try!

One of the best things about this pattern is that it only uses a small amount of yarn, so get out your scraps. Just remember that the hook size will depend on your yarn thickness and tension. Using Chenille yarn and a 4mm hook, our No Sew Mini Chicken is approximately 5cm wide. The size will vary depending on yarn, hook, and tension.
