Create a charming desk companion with this quick knit chicken pattern. This project turns a basic knitted tube into a quirky stuffed animal using simple hand-sewn details and a bit of stuffing. It is a fantastic stash-buster that works with any yarn color or weight, allowing you to add personality with stripes or variegated scraps.
This quick knit chicken pattern is exceptionally fast if you use a knitting machine to crank out the body. Once you have your tube, simply seam the ends and add a hand-knitted beak, crest, and tail. A few strategic stitches at the head create a natural shape, bringing your chicken to life. It is a fun, stress-free project that makes a delightful gift or a unique piece of handmade decor.
