A playful and beginner-friendly chicken hat, designed as a quick and joyful project you can finish in just a couple of hours.
Worked bottom-up in the round as a straight Stockinette tube, with a folded brim, it naturally forms a square shape. A few small details transform it into a charming little chicken. Worn with the head at the front and the tail at the back, it instantly comes to life.
Perfect for Easter, gifts, costumes, or simply adding a touch of humor and warmth to everyday wear.

Want to use a different yarn weight? No problem — a simple adjustment formula is included in the pattern, so you can easily recalculate stitch and row counts to match your gauge.

You automatically receive a 15% discount if you purchase 2 or more patterns from my Ravelry Shop at the same time (i.e. in ONE transaction, place them all in your cart before you check out). No code needed.
