Step 1
Start the stringing the pattern from above (the first bead in the first row is marked with a black dot). I recommend that you string a small piece of paper between the rows, so that you can avoid any eventual errors and to make them easier to count.

Row 1 – 6x R |

Step 2
Crochet 3 loops without R (fig. 2). Then crochet short columns consisting of 6 loops onto the first loop in the chain so that you end up with a circle (fig. 3). Further, continue with a short column and add one R to each of the loops (fig. 4).

Step 3
Continue with the second row. Crochet two loops with a short column and 1x R into each of the loops from the first row (fig. 5). There will be a total of 12x R in the second row (fig. 6). Add another 6x R to the next row – a total of 18 all around. Always add the R to the last R in the row. Continue expanding the circle until you have 48x R all around (fig. 7). Then crochet 14 straight rows without any additions (fig. 8).

Step 4
You will now reduce (skip/omit) one loop at the start of each new row so that you eventually end up at 6 columns. As such, skip the first R in the row and insert the hook directly into the second column (fig. 9) and crochet 7 short columns into the remaining 7 loops in the row. Once you have reduced half the rows, place the plastic egg into the crocheted pouch (fig. 10). Continue reducing R at the beginning of each row, until you reach the last 6 R. Sew in the remainder of the yarn and hide it inside the crocheting (fig. 11).

Step 5
Sew the feathers (each feather consists of 10x R) onto the upper R. Sew on the wings and the tail in the same way as the feathers (figs. 12-13). Your first seed bead chick is now finished!
