Crocheted chicken with patterns and description. Crocheted chicken. Head comb

Easter is a wonderful occasion to gather in the warm company of family and friends! It has long been a tradition to visit with painted ones, but in addition to them, you can also give them as gifts. We’ll talk about how to make cute ones with your own hands :)

To knit one we will need:

white and yellow yarn of the same thickness
hook matching size
eyes (for example, black half-beads)
any decorations (for example, a bow)
filler (sintepon, Thinsulate, holofiber)
wooden skewer

Legend:

VP - air loop
sc - single crochet
pr - increase (2 sbn in sbn of the previous row)
dec - decrease (we knit 2 sc together)

Description of the knitting process

We begin knitting with white thread:
1st row – amigurumi ring of 6 sc
2nd row – 6 inc = 12 sc
Row 3 – (1sc + inc) repeat 6 times = 18 sc
Row 4 – (2sc + inc) repeat 6 times = 24 sc
5-6 row – 24 sc
Row 7 – (3sc + inc) repeat 6 times = 30 sc
Row 8 – 30 sc with yellow threads behind the back wall of the loop

Row 9 – (4sc + inc) repeat 6 times = 36 sc
10-14 row – 36 sc
15 row – 36 sc with white threads for both walls of the loop
Row 16 – 36 sc behind the back wall of the loop

Row 17 – 36 sc
Row 18 – (4sc + dec) repeat 6 times = 30 sc
Row 19 – (3sc + dec) repeat 6 times = 24 sc
Row 20 – (2sc + dec) repeat 6 times = 18 sc
Row 21 – (1sc + dec) repeat 6 times = 12 sc

We stuff the chicken tightly, but so as to get the shape of an egg, do not make the body too round.

Row 22 – 6 dec, tighten the hole not very tightly, we will attach a wooden skewer here, secure the thread and hide it.

Now we return to our left front walls during the color transition, knit the shell, fasten the white thread on the first stitch and knit one sc in each loop in the round - we get beautiful protrusions.

We fasten the thread and hide it. We do this on the top and bottom of the chicken.

Beak
We cast on 2 ch, in the second loop from the hook we knit 3 sc. The beak is ready.

Let's move on to decorating the chicken. Sew on the beak with a needle, glue on the eyes and bow.

First, carefully insert the skewer into the body of the chicken, make a hole, and then remove it. Lubricate it with glue and insert it back - this way the skewer will hold well and will not fall out. The chicken is ready!

A knitted chicken can be a great decoration for Easter. It is quite simple and quick to do even by beginners with very little needlework experience. For those who doubt this, we suggest reading this article: “Chicken using a hook: master class.”

Crochet a chicken: master class with necessary materials

Most of the materials you have may not match ours, for example, you can take yarn of a different color or make the eyes colored. A lot depends on personal tastes and preferences. Below is a list of materials and a description for each.

Yarn. We used Jazz Magic yarn. Which was made of 100% microfiber and had 1074 color.
Yarn 1690 colors. Weighing 50 grams. One hundred percent acrylic.
Yarn 9560 colors. Weight 150 grams. Also made of acrylic.
Two-millimeter hook.
Crochet size 1.75 mm.
Filler.
Eyes. You can make them yourself from paper.
Wire. Eight segments of six centimeters each.
Wire cutters, awls and round nose pliers.
Glue. Be sure to look for clear ones.
A pin that acts as a marker.
An ordinary table fork. We will need it to make a pompom.

We make the base - the body.

For the body we use yellow yarn. We knit with a two-millimeter crochet hook. Here is the knitting pattern for each row:

We knit six single crochets and close the amigurumi ring into them.
We make twelve increments in each of the columns of the first row.
We knit one single crochet and increase. Repeat six times.
We knit two single crochets and increase. Repeat six times.
We knit the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth rows in the same way. We make twenty-four single crochets in a circle.
Two single crochets and a decrease. Repeat six times.
We knit eighteen single crochets in a circle.
We make a single crochet six times with a decrease.

All we have to do is fill the body with filler. Fasten firmly and cut the thread. Be sure to leave a small tip in order to sew the head to the body.

We knit the head.

Again we use yellow yarn and the same hook. Scheme:

The first row is done the same way as for the body
We make an increase in each column
Single crochet and increase. Repeat six times.
Two single crochets with an increase. Repeat six times.
Three single crochets with an increase. Repeat six times.
We knit thirty single crochets in a circle.
Four single crochets with an increase. Repeat six times.
From the eighth to the eleventh row, inclusive, we knit thirty-six single crochets.
Four single crochets with decrease. We alternate six times.
Three single crochets with decrease. We do it six times.
Two single crochets with decrease. Repeat six times.
Single crochet with decrease. Repeat six times.
We repeat the decrease six times.

Tighten and secure the thread tightly, leaving a tip for attaching the head to the body.

Wings.

We knit with the same tool and material as the head.

Three rows are performed. Each of the rows is done similarly to the row from the head.

We fold the resulting wing and knit two air loops. We tie the edge with a half double crochet. Sew the wings to the body.

We knit a beak.

For the beak, as for the previous parts, a description of the circuit for beginners will be given. We knit in red and crochet 1.75 mm.

Four air loops.
We knit all the loops, starting from the second, like this: three single crochets, a chain loop and a turn.
Decrease, knit one single crochet, turn.
We reduce the thread, fasten it and cut it off. Don't forget to leave a small tip for sewing.

The first half of the beak is ready. We just have to make the second one, it does exactly the same as the first one. Sew the two halves together. The beak is ready.

Cap.

We knit the hat with lilac yarn. And a two-millimeter hook.

We knit forty chain stitches and close the x into a ring.
We knit forty single crochet stitches.
From the third to the sixth row we knit the same way. Two front embossed columns, a decrease, a purl relief column.
Two front embossed columns, the back side embossed.
Two facial reliefs, decrease
Two front embossed stitches and one back stitch. Repeat until the end of the row.
We make a decrease, one knit stitch and one purl stitch. Repeat until the end of the row.

We tighten all the loops that remain with a needle.

Video on the topic of the article: knitting a scarf

The scarf is very easy to knit. Thirty-five air loops and two lifting loops are made. From the third loop we must knit thirty-five half double crochets.

When all the elements are ready. All we have to do is unite them into one. Our beautiful chicken is ready! The chicken can be placed in a large egg, from which it will peek out. There are many different ways to decorate. The choice is yours.

We invite you to watch some interesting videos.

We all love to receive gifts. Even if the gift is not rich, but from the heart, it is already pleasant. But most of all we like handmade gifts. Such gifts are usually treated with care. For example, parents really value their child’s crafts; friends treasure gift cards from their friends; Brothers and sisters enjoy it when they surprise each other. But what kind of gift can you give yourself? If you know how to knit, then with the help of your skill and our master class, making a crocheted chicken will be as easy as shelling pears for a pleasant surprise for a loved one.

In any work or in creating something, patience, time and diligence are always required. Where would we be without this? So, if you want to make amigurumi, you can follow the description below to create a chicken.

Working moments

Here's what we'll need:

yellow, purple and orange yarn;
2 hooks (one – 1.70 millimeters, the other – 2 millimeters);
eyes;
filler;
chenille wire (8 pieces of 6.5 centimeters each);
nippers, awl, round teeth;
wire for glasses frames;
needle;
glue and pins;
cutlery - fork.

Legend:

PR – add;
UB – decrease;
SON - double crochet;
PSN – 0.5 double crochet;
LRSSN – front embossed double crochet;
IRSSN - purl embossed double crochet.

Attention! The number of loops in a row is indicated as follows: /…/. When you start a new row, mark it with a marker.

Even for beginners, creating this cute chick is easy! The scale of the craft is approximately 15 centimeters.

Let's start making

Let's divide the creation of a chicken into 9 stages.

We knit the body of the chicken from yellow yarn. We use a 2 mm hook.

Six single crochet amigurumi ring. PR in each column /12/. 1 single crochet, PR - six times /18/. 2 single crochets, PR - six times /24/. Knit 24 single crochets in the round. 2 single crochets, UB – six times /18/. Knit 18 single crochets in the round. 1 single crochet UB – six times /12/. Fill the resulting ball with filler.

Fasten the connecting post, cut the thread, leaving a little for sewing the chicken's head to the body. The body is not round in shape, but in the shape of an egg:

We knit a chicken head using yellow yarn. We use a 2 mm hook.

6 single crochets in an amigurumi ring PR in each column /12/. 1 single crochet, PR - six times /18/. 2 single crochets, PR - six times /24/. 3 single crochets, PR - six times /30/. In this way we knit 36 single crochets in a circle. 4 single crochets, PR - six times /36/. Knit 36 single crochets in the round. 4 single crochets, UB – six times /30/. 3 single crochets, UB – six times /24/. 2 single crochets, UB – six times /18/. 1 single crochet, UB – six times /12/. UB – six times /6/. Fasten and cut the connecting post, leaving a small end for tightening the loops. Taking a needle, tighten the other loops and remove the thread into the piece.

We also knit the wings for our bird from yellow yarn with a 2 mm crochet.

6 single crochets in an amigurumi ring. PR in each column /12/. 1 single crochet, PR - six times /18/. Fold the piece exactly in half and knit two air loops. We tie the edge using PSN. The remaining thread is secured and cut, leaving a small thread for attaching the wings to the body.

It's time to make the chicken's beak. For this we use orange yarn and a 1.75 mm hook.

We make four air loops. During the second loop from the hook, make three single crochets, a chain loop and a turn. UB, single crochet, chain stitch and turn. UB, secure the thread and cut it, but only leave a small end for tying. Working according to this principle, tie the other half of the beak. Then connect and tie them.

Let's decorate our chicken by adding an accessory - a hat.

We use purple yarn and a 2 mm hook. As we finish each row, we add two air loops for lifting. The rows themselves will need to be connected with a connecting post with 2 air loops.

We make forty air loops. We close them into a ring with a connecting post. Forty SLEEP. (Two LRSSN and two IRSSN) - repeat until the end of the row. Two LRSSN, UB IRSSN (two LRSSN, two IRSSN, two LRSSN, UB IRSSN) - 4 times, two LRSSN, two IRSSN. Two LRSSN, IRSSN, Two LRSSN, UB IRSSN - repeat these actions five times. Two LRSSN, IRSSN - repeat these steps until the end of the row. Use a needle to tighten the loops that remain.

Now it’s the scarf’s turn. We also make it from purple yarn, using a 2 mm hook.

We cast on 35 lifting chain stitches. When we reach the third loop from the hook, we knit 35 hdc.

Now let’s do the final touch – the chicken’s feet.

From the photo below you can make them:

Build time!

On the bright day of Easter, it is customary to give colored eggs. An addition to this good tradition can be a surprise in the form of a funny chicken. In addition, cute crocheted chickens will look great on the Easter table along with eggs and Easter cakes.

Chicken amigurami

Making a funny and plump chicken using the amigurami technique is quite easy and quite quick. You just need to carefully connect the small parts of this funny character’s body.

You will need:

yellow yarn for the body, a little orange or coral yarn for the beak and paws, a little red for the scallop;
two black beads;
hook matching the threads;
needle, scissors;
padding polyester for stuffing the body.

Chicken body

The following diagram will help you knit an Easter chicken using the amigurami technique:

1st row: Tie 2 chain loops (VP), close them into a ring and knit 6 single crochets (SC). 2nd row: Knit a row with two SC in each loop. 3rd row: 1 loop with SC, 2 - with two SC and so on further to the end of the row.
Row 4: perform 2 loops with sc, 3 with two sc. There should be a total of 24 stitches in a row.
5th row: 3 loops RLS, in 4 – two RLS.
Row 6: Knit sc without increasing.
Row 7: 4 sc, from the 5th row knit 2 sc.
Row 8: RLS loop into loop.
9th row: 5 loops need to be knitted with sc, and from the 6th - 2 sc.
Rows 10-15: Knit rows of sc stitches in stitches. Total 42 loops
Row 16: Knit a row of sc, and join the 20th and 21st stitches together.
Row 17: 3 loops sc, 4th and 5th sc together. Repeat the entire row.
Row 18: RLS 32 stitches.
Row 19: 2 loops sc, third and 4th sc together. Also knit the entire row.
Row 20: RLS.
Row 21: Work a row alternating 1 sc and 2 sc stitches together.
Row 22: RLS 16 stitches, then stuff the chicken’s body with padding polyester.
Row 23: Knit sc every 2 stitches. There should be 8 loops.

Pull the thread from the last loop by 15-20 cm, cut it and insert it into the needle. Using a basting stitch, connect all 8 loops of this thread, pull them together and secure them into a knot. Pass the needle and thread inside the body of the toy, bring it out and cut it.

Wings

1st row: 4 sc in the ring.
Row 2: Knit 2 sc from each stitch.
3rd row: 1 RLS, 2 RLS from the 2nd loop, etc.
4 row; 2 sc, in the 3rd - 2 sc, etc.
Rows 5-7: sc in each stitch.
8 row: 2 sc, 3rd and 4 together sc, etc.
Row 9: 12 sc, cut the thread to connect the wings to the body.

Beak

Using a coral or orange thread, cast on 2 (VP).

1 row. 1 sc in 2nd loop, 1 VP. Turn the knitting in the opposite direction. Row 2: From 1 loop, knit 2 sc, 1 ch. Unfold the knitting. Row 3: From 2 loops, knit 4 sc, 1 ch. Expand.
4th row: 1 sc, 2nd and 3rd - 1 sc, 5th - 2 sc, 1 VP. Expand.
5th row: do not knit 1 loop, in the 2nd and 3rd loops make 1 sc, skip 4, 5 and 6 - 1 sc, 1 ch. Expand.
6th row: skip the 1st and 3rd loop, and in the 2nd and 4th perform RLS, 1 VP. Expand.
Row 7: Knit 1 sc in the middle, pull out and cut the thread.

Paws

Take a thread of the same color as for the beak and tie 12 chain stitches. Connect the 12th loop to the 6th, knit 5 more VPs and connect again to the 6th loop. Perform the last step again. Knit the remaining VPs with connecting posts. In a similar way, you need to knit another paw.

Scallop

Cast on 10 VPs with red thread and connect the last loop to the 6th. Perform 5 VPs 3 times and also connect with the 6th loop.

Assembling the chicken

Sew wings and legs on the sides of the body, a comb on top, and a beak between the wings with a line in the middle. Make eyes from beads.

Ideas

Chicken in shell

Similar to the amigurami chicken, you can knit an Easter chicken in a shell. First, knit the figurine of the chicken itself in the form of an egg, and then use the same pattern to create halves of the shell. Sew the paws directly onto the shell, and insert the chick inside. Such a newly hatched chick will greatly delight the smallest kids, who will undoubtedly enjoy “undressing” it.

Fluffy chicken

Using the previous knitting patterns, you can make a fluffy version of the chicken in the shape of an egg. To do this, in every second row you need to knit half-columns from the loops and pull the thread. Approximately from the middle of knitting, make a decrease, and when the toy takes the shape of a ball, fill it with padding polyester. Make the eyes from beads, the beak from red velvet paper. If desired, such a cute fluffy chicken can be decorated with a bow, small hairpin or other decoration.

Shy chick

Both children and adults will love the little shy Easter chick; just be patient and have a little inspiration. The head and body are performed together. As in previous cases, the body is made in the form of a small egg, only when the loops on top are decreased, they are not completely closed, but loops for the head begin to be added.

The head is knitted in the form of a ball, and the last loop is pulled out and a tuft is formed from it like a bow. In the place of the eyes, at a height of 7 loops, eye ties are made and the eyes themselves are glued directly. The beak is knitted in one row of sc, the wings are knitted in two rows of sc, the legs are knitted with air loops. All these parts are sewn to the head and body of the chicken. You can hang a small pendant on the chicken’s neck, and glue a decorative pacifier to the wing.
