Notes
- All crochet is worked in the round (spiral method) unless noted. Use a stitch marker to keep track of round beginnings.
- Tight stitches are recommended for best shaping and to keep stuffing unseen.
- Safety eyes and stuffing must be secured and child-safe; swap for embroidery or felt if gifting to toddlers/infants.

- The project is highly customizable—experiment with hat and foot colors for a flock of uniquely dressed chicks.
