This Chick came out SO cute. Very satisfying little project.
Finished my Chick last night! I'm newly retired and finally have time, and this one still taught me something. The PDF arrived in my inbox before I'd even closed the tab. I usually have to rewrite patterns in my own notes. Not this one. There's a picture for every tricky part, including how to attach the wings. It's the first thing I've finished in months and that feels good.
This pattern made me feel like I actually know what I'm doing. Great TV-watching project. Download link came through instantly after checkout. Chef's kiss.
This pattern made me feel like I actually know what I'm doing. Crocheting this was honestly relaxing. I swapped the colors to match my team and it still worked perfectly. If you're on the fence, buy it.
Okay WOW. Great TV-watching project. Chef's kiss.

Liked it a lot. Took me the length of a football game start to finish including sewing on the little feet. Took me longer than I expected, but that's probably on me.
Mixed feelings. I run a crochet club at my school so I was nervous, but it went fine. The instructions are written round by round with stitch counts at the end of every row, so I always knew if I'd messed up. I used a slightly bigger hook so it'd be huggable and it came out great. The PDF arrived in my inbox before I'd even closed the tab. The wings and the little feet are what make it look like an actual Chick instead of a blob. I expected more hand-holding for a 'beginner' pattern on the fluffy body section.
Really nice pattern with one small gripe. It actually looks like the photo, which is rare for me. Pages printed a little small on my printer. Zoomed in on my tablet instead. Four solid stars.
Very cute, minor hiccup. Second pattern I've bought from Willis and both were great. It even lists how much yarn you'll need in yards, which saved me from a mid-project yarn run. This one's for my niece. Already planning the next one. I've bought Chick patterns from three other shops and this is the only one I finished. Took me longer than I expected, but that's probably on me.
Cute result, took a little fiddling. I crochet between classes and this was perfect for me. Crocheting this was honestly relaxing. Finished in two nights. The little feet is my favorite part. The first round of the fluffy body was a bit confusing until I reread it.
Love love love this pattern. I'm getting back into crochet after 20 years so I was nervous, but it went fine. My wife squealed. Mission accomplished. Checkout was easy and the file was in my email in seconds. Go get it.
It's fine. I crochet between classes so I was nervous, but it went fine. Every round has a stitch count. That alone makes this better than half the patterns I've paid for. Made it in a snow day with a 3.5mm hook. A video link would have turned this into five stars for me.
Yes. Just yes. Big readable font, nothing crammed, and the stitch counts actually add up (I checked every single one). Made it for my niece and they have not put it down since. Buying the whole set next.
Cutest thing I've ever made. I'm a grandma of six and this was perfect for me. It's the first thing I've finished in months and that feels good. Made two: one for my book club swap and one that is NOT leaving my house. Go get it.
10/10 would crochet again. This was my very first amigurumi and I had no trouble at all. Skipped the safety eyes and embroidered them for a baby-safe version. Pattern made that easy. It actually looks like the photo, which is rare for me.
Instant download, clear PDF, cute result. What else do you need? Written for a real beginner. If you can do a magic ring, sc, inc and dec, you can make this. Went up to bulky yarn and now it's a full-on pillow. Perfect gift pattern.
I've already made three of these. Checkout was easy and the file was in my email in seconds. Added a keychain loop to the top, now it lives on my bag.
Good value, a few notes. Great TV-watching project. I'd love a yardage estimate per color, not just total. Still recommend.

I rarely leave reviews but this earned one. I had never crocheted an amigurumi before and I had no trouble at all. It was for my wife and it was the hit of the party. It even lists how much yarn you'll need in yards, which saved me from a mid-project yarn run. Added a keychain loop to the top, now it lives on my bag. The shaping on the beak is clever. Didn't expect that from a 'beginner' pattern.

Good value, a few notes. Took me one lazy Sunday start to finish including sewing on the little feet. The fluffy body instructions could use one more photo. Still recommend.
This was a joy to make. I've been crocheting for 30+ years and this was perfect for me. It was for my husband (he loves them) and it was the hit of the party. Did the little feet in a contrasting color, highly recommend. Crocheting this was honestly relaxing. The beak is worked in one piece, which means less sewing. Thank you!!
Easiest pattern I've bought in a long time. I had never crocheted an amigurumi before and this was perfect for me. Used chunky chenille and it came out about 6 inches tall. Crocheting this was honestly relaxing.
Absolutely adorable. I'm 15 and taught myself from YouTube so I was nervous, but it went fine. I left out the wings by accident and honestly it still looks cute. It went to a 5th birthday party and now the whole family wants one.
I screamed a little when I finished the face. Great TV-watching project. I've bought Chick patterns from three other shops and this is the only one I finished. I appreciated the note about stuffing the fluffy body firmly before closing. Made a difference. Our foster kiddo squealed. Mission accomplished.
Five stars, no notes. This got me out of a crochet slump. The shaping on the little feet is clever. Didn't expect that from a 'beginner' pattern. Adding the bundle to my cart as I type this.
Easiest pattern I've bought in a long time. It went to a coworker's baby shower and now the whole family wants one. Will be making this again.
This was a joy to make. Used leftover scraps and it came out bigger than I expected. The photos for the assembly step are what sold me. No guessing where the beak goes. The PDF arrived in my inbox before I'd even closed the tab. I left out the little feet by accident and honestly it still looks cute. Will be making this again.
Nearly five stars. Made two: one for my daughter and one that is NOT leaving my house. The first round of the wings was a bit confusing until I reread it.
Very cute, minor hiccup. I've made maybe a dozen amigurumi so I was nervous, but it went fine. I'd forgotten how fun amigurumi is. Finished in a rainy afternoon. The wings is my favorite part. The little feet instructions could use one more photo.
