What Supplies Do I Need to Crochet Cocca the Hen?
To make Cocca the Hen, you’ll need a DK-weight yarn in white and very small bits of red, yellow, and pink, which makes it great for using up yarn scraps from the stash. The pattern also calls for a 3 mm crochet hook and some polyfill for stuffing. If you want to give your chick a nice, polished look, be sure to add two 6 mm black safety eyes.
Who Can Make This Crochet Chicken Amigurumi?
Cocca the Hen is an easy amigurumi project suitable for upper beginners. The chicken features a simple pear-shaped body worked as one piece. The wings, tails, and cockcomb are done separately and then sewn onto the main piece. You will also do some face embroidery.
