This is a written pattern for a windspinner in the shape of a chick. Several pictures are included, to explain some parts of the pattern and/or to show how it should look like.

The level is advanced intermediate, you should have experience with making amigurumis.

Materials you need:
-Yarn, about 60 meters/66 yards in total
-Stuffing for the head, just a little bit
-A thread for hanging the windspinner. You can use nylon thread, but you can also use a single string of the yarn you used for the windspinner itself.
-optional: beads for the eyes and/or for decoration

Stitches and (US-)terms used:

  • mc = magic circle
  • ch = chainstitch
  • slst = slipstitch
  • sc = single crochet
  • hdc = half double crochet
  • dc = double crochet
  • trc = treble crochet
  • incr = increase
  • decr = decrease
  • flo = frontloop only
  • blo = backloop only
  • picot = ch 2, attach to the last stitch with slst 1 (in flo)

For this windspinner I used acrylic yarn (Stylecraft Special dk or Scheepjes colourcrafter) which is 295 m/322 yards per 100 gram.
I used hooksize 3.5 for the main part, hooksize 3.0 for the head and the legs and 2.0 for the beak.

In case you prefer to use other yarn, I would suggest only using a smaller hook (and thinner yarn) for the beak. So use one hooksize for all of the other parts in that case.
For example sockwool: take a size 2 or 2.25 hook, plus a thinner thread and a size 1.0 hook for the beak.

Colors used: yellow and orange and a bit of black for the eyes.
