Required Set of Supplies for This Project
To make Silly Hens by Márta Sipos, prepare lightweight yarn in bright colors. You will also need a 3 mm and a 2 mm crochet hook. The designer used 5 mm safety eyes, but they are optional, so you can crochet or embroider them instead if you don’t have any on hand.
You will also need some polyester fiberfill for stuffing and a handful of sand, rice, or pebbles to put at the bottom to make your chicken stand more stably. To avoid spillage, you can fill it into a balloon or stocking and put it at the bottom.
What Sititches Do I Need to Know?
For this crochet Easter chicken pattern, you only need to know basic amigurumi techniques. If you feel comfortable working stitches in the round, this project is for you. The pattern uses just simple stitches like single crochets and does some increasing and decreasing. There is really nothing complicated here!
