Ever Wanted to Create Something Like This?
Imagine a handmade little hen perched on your mantel, a soft, cuddly friend tucked into an Easter basket, or a cheerful farmhouse accent made entirely by you. If the idea of gifting something handmade or slowing down with a cozy crochet project makes your heart happy, this crochet chicken pattern from ThreadTutorial is exactly the kind of project that sparks joy without complicated fuss.
What You’ll Create
This pattern guides you to make a plush hen about 9.8 in (25 cm) tall when using the recommended materials. The finished toy has a warm, squishy body, defined wings and comb, and a sweet, homemade look that fits right into cottage-core decor or a kiddo’s toy chest. It’s the kind of piece that feels intentional and comforting—the kind you’ll smile at every time you dust the shelf or tuck it into a basket.
Why This Pattern
Here’s what sets this digital pattern apart and why it’s a good match for makers who love slow, meaningful crafting:
• Thoughtful design: the hen has charming, rustic details that read handmade and high-quality.
• Clear step-by-step structure: the PDF walks you through shaping and assembly so the final result looks neat and sturdy.
• Visual support: over 38 close-up photos and 9 linked video explanations make tricky steps easier to follow.
• Instant gratification: it’s a digital download, so you can start as soon as the purchase is confirmed.
• Versatile use: perfect for Easter decor, a unique gift, or to sell as finished handmade pieces (pattern is for personal use; finished items may be sold).
Who It’s For
This pattern is aimed at crafters with an intermediate skill level. If you already know basic amigurumi techniques—working in rounds, basic increases and decreases, and sewing pieces together—you’ll be comfortable with this pattern. It’s great for hobbyists who enjoy focused, slow projects and makers who love filling their home with meaningful, handmade pieces. If you’re newer to toy crocheting, the photos and video links help a lot, but note the pattern doesn’t include basic crochet lessons.
What You Get
When you buy this pattern (price: 8.50 USD), you’ll receive a downloadable English PDF that includes everything you need to make the hen. The file contents are:
• 26 pages of clear, step-by-step instructions.
• Over 38 close-up photos that show shaping, joins, and finishing touches.
• 9 clickable links to video explanations (highlighted in blue inside the PDF).
• Recommended materials and tool list: plush yarn (Himalaya Dolphin Baby recommended), 3.25 mm hook, 20 mm safety eyes, 35 mm split pin for the head, stuffing, tapestry needle, stitch marker, and firm thread for sculpting and sewing parts.
• Notes on final size and density—crochet tension varies, so your finished hen may differ slightly from the sample.
How to Start
Buying and beginning is simple: this is a digital product sold on Etsy. After purchase and payment confirmation, your download link appears in your order details so you can save the PDF to your computer or tablet and print or view it as you work.
Open the PDF and you’ll see the detailed instructions and the blue-highlighted links to video tutorials—click those from any browser for extra step-by-step visual help.
