✿ Warning: a whole coop may follow

Quick, fun and a little bit addictive, the Wheat Stitch™ Crochet Chickens work up fast in two sizes, perfect for starting your own little crochet flock. Use any yarn you have lying around, since gauge isn’t a big deal here.

The body is made in textured Wheat Stitch™, then you add the comb, tail feathers, eyes and a simple beak. Make one, or find yourself making a whole coop.
