Knit your own chunky, adorable chicken with this beginner-friendly pattern! It’s perfect for Easter decorations, cuddly gifts, or even a quirky doorstop! This super simple project is great for new knitters, as it uses only basic stitches and super bulky (#6) yarn. It makes this chicken knit up quickly while keeping it extra soft and squishy! The pattern is designed to be knit in the round on circular needles. You’ll start by knitting a flat square base in garter stitch, then pick up stitches evenly around the base and continue knitting in the round. Once the main body is complete, stuff it firmly and close the top. Lastly, attach the wings, crest, safety eyes, and a little beak to bring your knitted chicken to life! Want to get creative? Make your chicken striped, add fluffy tail feathers, or customize the size by adjusting the yarn and needles. The finished size is 6.5″ wide x 8.5″ long x 8″ tall (at the crest). It’s a perfect little companion for your home or a fun handmade gift!
