Baby Chick Crochet Cups

My popular Crochet Cups are coming to you in some new designs! The baby chick and the hatching baby chick cups are perfect the spring season and they will have several seasonal friends joining them in the next few days.

If you aren’t familiar with these crochet cups, it all started with my >>> BUNNY CUPS <<< which were made for holding a few small candy (or non-candy) treats! So easy to work up and great for Easter gift giving. Kids, teachers, neighbors, and friends will all love these!

Materials:
-Size K Crochet Hook
– Red Heart Super Saver Yarn in White and Saffron Yellow
Shop these colors HERE on Yarnspirations.com
