Crocheting Your Chicken

Round 1

Chain 4 and join to form a circle.

Work 12 single crochets into the center of the circle.
Pull the strands to form the chicken's butt.
Single crochet into the first stitch, place your stitch marker, and make another single crochet in the same stitch.
Work two single crochets into each stitch around until you return to the stitch marker.

Round 2

Single crochet into the first stitch and replace the stitch marker.
Work two single crochets into the next stitch, then one single crochet into the following stitch.
Continue this pattern all the way around until you reach the stitch marker.

For Round 3

Follow the same pattern as Round 2, but increase every second stitch.

Continue around until you reach the stitch marker.

Round 4

Remove the stitch marker, single crochet into the first stitch, then increase every third stitch around until you return to the start.

Rounds 5-8

Single crochet into every stitch around.

Round 9

Chain 2, then double crochet into each of the next five stitches.
Repeat this all the way around, slip stitch into the first stitch, cut your yarn, and sew in the end.

Rounds 10 and 11

Attach brown or black yarn to the chicken's head. Work two single crochets into the same stitch, followed by one single crochet into the next.
Repeat around, cut your yarn, and sew in the end.

Stuffing

Fill your chicken with toy stuffing until it is firm and holds its shape.

Finishing Touches

Sew up the opening of the chicken’s body. Attach the red yarn to the top of the chicken’s head to create the crown. Shape the body and legs and add any additional details as desired, such as a cross for the chicken’s butt.

Tips for Customization

For a bigger chicken, continue with the increasing rounds.
Feel free to choose any color yarn for the features to personalize your chicken.
For a shorter chicken, opt for half double crochets in some rounds.
Ensure the chicken is well-stuffed for a better shape.
Get creative and make your chicken unique!
