These hens are so cheeky, cuddly and soft that you simply have to love them. With the thick chenille wool, they are really quick to make and are a wonderful weekend or evening project. The body is crocheted in rounds with single crochet stitches, the feathers and comb are crocheted directly onto the body. The legs are joined together and are worked into the body. You only need to attach the beak at the end and close a seam, otherwise no sewing is necessary.

You will receive detailed PDF instructions (9 pages) with text, step-by-step pictures and crochet diagram.
Crochet with ch, slst, sc and puff stitches (explained in detail - only for the comb).
Suitable for beginners.
