Over the weekend I came to you with my second free amigurumi pattern, the crochet easter chick. You can have a great time making these wonderful crochet animals on Sunday. Since you liked the small crochet Easter chick pattern I shared before, I came to you with a larger crochet Easter chick this time. You can also learn how to make a scarf to decorate in this free amigurumi pattern. The cute crochet Easter chick that you can easily make step by step is prepared for you below.

Embroider the legs with orange yarn at the bottom front of the body (see pictures for reference).
