A knitted chocolate egg hen and chick is a set of soft toys made from yarn, designed to look like a hen and her chick. This set often has a small pocket or space where you can hide a chocolate egg, making it a playful and interactive toy.
These toys appeal to children because they’re soft, cute, and come with the element of surprise – a hidden chocolate egg. The idea of discovering a treat inside the toy adds an exciting twist to playing with these knitted friends.
The hen and chick represent family, care, and the surprises that can be found in everyday moments. They’re special because they bring these themes into playtime, teaching children about nurturing and the joy of giving and receiving surprises.
We love them because they’re a charming combination of traditional craft and playful, modern design. They make thoughtful gifts, especially around Easter, symbolizing renewal and the joy of life.
Knitting one offers the chance to create something personal and heartfelt. It’s a way to invest your time and skill into making a unique toy that can be treasured. Plus, the process of knitting can be a peaceful and fulfilling activity, providing a sense of accomplishment when you see your finished creation.

Pattern Instructions and Help
What About Knitting Needles?
We use either 3mm(UK 11, US 3) needles with Double Knitting yarn.If you use chunky / bulky then 4.5mm single pointed knitting needles(UK 7, US 7) are what we use.
Is That Right? It Seems Too Small?
If you look at a ball band or have knitted garments before, you will know the recommended size is for larger needles.We do this so when you knit the pieces the knitting stays dense and the toy stuffing doesn't show through.

Using Your Pattern
Do You Sell Yarn, Needles or Haberdashery?
All we do is create gorgeous toy knitting patterns.We don't sell anything else.This makes us specialists at what we do.
This also means that you are free to buy your haberdashery from your local yarn shop or any other place that you like.
Do I Need To Go And Buy More Yarn?
No. (Well, not unless you want to!) Just use up some of your stash. The patterns don't use any brand in particular. If you keep the yarn a consistent thickness for all colours and you can pretty much use what you want.
We tend to use acrylic yarn for our toys as the thickness is consistent and colours are vibrant.
We only use 2 thicknesses of yarn for all patterns. Either Double Knitting (Light Worsted, 8ply, No.3, Approx 300m/100g) or Chunky (Bulky, 16ply, No.5, Approx 150m/100g) See the listing to see which one we used.
You know that you will be able to use the pattern in future too when your stash changes. Don't be afraid to experiment with fancy yarns and thicknesses.
