Notes
  • Donation for Fundraising for Gallery North for this cause.

  • Video Tutorial

  • Used the 3 needle bind-off to join the two tail sections. Knit each tail section with the same number of rows. (41) This gives you the correct stitch count when you pick up the stitches for the chicken body.

  • Added mosaic stitches for interest.

  • Added two extra rows to the neck.

  • Used Sunny Day for the beak with Size 6 DPNs.

  • For the beak after there were 5 stitches I purled back and then K 1, slip one, K2 tog, PSSO, K 1; pull through the 3 remaining stitches and then did the seaming.

  • Leave long tails on the undersection for sewing up the chicken.

  • Double Wattle (knit the wattle and before ending it did a few plain rows and then knit the pattern in reverse.)

  • Created an inner “beanbag” with nylon sock and Poly-Fil Poly-Pellets

  • Source for Safety Eyes

  • Her Little Chickie, Lillybud.

  • Decided to set a goal of 25 Emotional Support Chickens in 2025. (25in25ESC) This is #3 in 2025 and overall ESC #57
