My nephew Henry’s favourite pet hen called Thyme sadly died of old age this summer and he sked me to knit him one as a keepsake, (see Henry’s Hen Thyme knitting pattern).
As a surprise I also designed a matching beanie which he now wears every morning when he goes out to collect the eggs before school each day.
The Henry’s Hen beanie knitting pattern covers 4 sizes so can be made for anyone with a head circumference between 14-24 inches.
You can buy the Henry’s Hen Thyme Beanie hat knitting pattern on Etsy, Ebay or form my henmungus website www.madmonkeyknits.com.
Henry wants a cock from Santa this year so that he can get into breeding so there may be lots more chicken related patterns available very soon!
