About this pattern

These chickens are a fast and fun way to use up extra yarn, and they bring so much charm to a kitchen shelf or a spring display. Make a big one and a little one and you've got a family.

You make the body in the Wheat Stitch in joined and turned rounds, then crochet the comb and tail feathers. Safety eyes (not recommended for young children) and a small beak are added, then you sew the top closed, attaching the comb and tail feathers as you go. Two sizes are included, a 4 inch small and a 6 by 8 inch large, plus printable tags.

Why you'll love it

  • Two sizes: 4 inch small and 6 by 8 inch large
  • Quick, beginner friendly amigurumi
  • Great for using up scrap yarn
  • Printable tags included

Incredibly cute pattern!! Super easy to follow and well written. I added a pocket to the bottom following the gauge swatch instructions so I could make it a kindle holder!

This pattern is so easy to follow and can be used with basically any yarn. Variegated yarn gives them a little extra color. They work up really quick.
