Meet Chessie the Chicken – the chubbiest chick amigurumi you’ve ever seen! With an easy-to-follow pattern from Jess Huff, you can create this plump, feathered buddy for your kid or home as a charming Easter decoration. Either way, it’s really hard to resist its personal charm!
Can I Use Cotton Yarn Instead Of Acrylic?
Although the designer recommends using acrylic worsted-weight yarn such as Premier Yarns Basix, you can go for cotton or acrylic-cotton blends as well. Cotton yarn offers good stitch definition and can be really soft too.
The crochet chicken seen in the photos was made using yellow, red, cream, and light brown colors, but feel free to personalize your plushie with other shades.
How Big Is The Finished Crochet Chicken?
The final size of this plump crochet chick amigurumi is 9 inches (23cm) in height. It’s a great toy for cuddles or imaginative play. It will also look nice displayed on a table or over the mantel as an Easter centrepiece. If you want, you can change its size easily by sizing up or down the hook and yarn.
Is Chessie The Chicken Pattern Difficult?
This crochet chicken toy pattern requires you to know essential amigurumi techniques, such as shaping and working stitches in spiral rounds. Its head and body are worked from the top down as one piece. Then, you need to crochet a chicken’s beak, comb, tail, feet, and wings separately and sew them onto the body.
The toy also requires stuffing and shaping around the head/body area for that chubby look and chipper personality.
