The finished pumpkin chicken, when worked in double knit, will measure approximately 5.5”/14cm high and 5.5”/14cm beak to tail. This will of course vary with weights of yarn and hook/tension. For a larger chicken work in aran or chunky. I used the below yarns but you could use anything of a matching weight from your own stash.

This pattern is relatively easy to follow but does require basic crochet knowledge of single and double crochet and the ability to work a magic ring. Everything is easily learnt from Youtube if you are not 100% sure. It is written in US terms but easily converted to UK terms.
