Are we ready to make free amigurumi toys on the subject of chicken in the shell crochet? The height of the crocheted chicken toy is about 6 cm. To make such small chickens, the designer used YarnArt Jeans yarn and a 2 mm hook. The head and body of the toy are crocheted as a single piece, the wings and crest are crocheted, and there are no sewn parts. From the description of the pattern you will also learn how to make a shell in which you can hide a toy or a chicken egg. Crochet chicken will be a great souvenir for Easter.
