This listing is for my chicken amigurumi crochet pattern. This chubby crochet chicken has a cavity underneath to hide her eggs in. It makes for a fun project for crocheters with some amigurumi experience, as well as seasoned amigurumi enthusiasts.

SIZE: The eggs will be about 6cm/2.4” long. The hen will be approx. 26 cm/10” long, 18cm/7” wide, and 15cm/6” tall at the back, if using the indicated hooks and yarns. You could however up or downscale her by using a different yarn weight and hook size.

CONSTRUCTION: The body, head, and tail are crocheted in one piece. The tail feathers are crocheted on.
The feathers at the tips of the wings are crocheted on. The wings, beak, comb, and wattles are sewn on.

INSTRUCTIONS: This downloadable pdf pattern has detailed step-by-step instructions accompanied by high-quality photos of the process.
The pattern includes photo tutorials on how to make a magic ring, invisible decreases in single crochet, and how to close small rounds.
