Need a pocket-sized dose of joy?

Meet your new tiny bestie - the Emotional Support Little Chickie! Whether you need a pick-me-up during your day, a cuddly pal to gift, or just a reason to smile, this teeny-tiny friend brings big comfort. And yes — she fits right in your pocket for support on the go!

In this 90-minute workshop, you’ll learn the skills to create your own Little Chickie. Along the way, you’ll learn useful toy-knitting techniques like shaping with increases and decreases, working short rows, seaming, and finishing with safety eyes and stuffing. Don’t worry if you’ve never made a knit toy before — this project is quick, beginner-friendly, and (fair warning!) totally addictive.

Whether you’re crafting one for yourself or a whole flock for friends, this is a feel-good project you’ll reach for again and again
