- Needle for sewing parts
- Scissors
Abbreviations:

Instructions for crocheting the amigurumi Chick Pi:
- Rnd 1: 6 sc in KA.
- Rnd 2: 6 inc (12).
- Rnd 3: (1 sc, inc) x 6 (18).
- Rnd 4: 3 sc, ch 3, 2 sc back along the chain (first wing), 10 sc, ch 3, 2 sc back along the chain (second wing), 5 sc (18).
- Rnd 5: (1 sc, dec) x 6 (12).
- Rnd 6: 6 dec, sl st.
Important! When crocheting the wings and tail, be careful: the wing attaches not to the same stitch but to the next one. The count of sc resumes from the stitch after the wing. In the next row, you work around the wings, without crocheting into them. Lift the wings upwards as you crochet to make sure they stay above the hook.
Happy crocheting and neat stitches!
