Chicken Critter Crochet

This is a very basic pattern that was put together quickly for a game. If you have any queries, or I’ve missed something out, you can follow the thread or ask me questions here

You don’t have to stick to chicken, I think it would make a great seal balancing a ball on its nose, a fish or a monster.

You can go as large as you like with the shape itself – think adult beanbag, if you have the patience. Trims will need to be adjusted accordingly.

I hope you enjoy.

Note If you differ greatly from the given sizes, remember to leave extra yarn for stitching!
