Crochet Pattern for this beautiful chicken set in amigurumi - aka stuffed animal! It is an instant pdf download - not a physical item.
It includes instructions for the basket, chicken, eggs, and chicks. There are plenty of pictures and instructions for the special stitches as well.

You can get the chicken or the babies with their eggs in a separate pattern in my etsy shop! https://www.etsy.com/shop/BrilliantButton

This chicken family is such a fun amigurumi to make! And much easier than you’d think! My testers had a lot of fun with this one! I hope you do too! I had one tester who matched her crochet chicken plush to her real life chickens!
Great for animal lovers who have a bit of country living in them!

This was tested by my amazing team!
Size: Mother Hen – 9 inches tall, Basket (with handle) – 12 inches, Baby Chicks – 2 inches
Difficulty: Intermediate. An advanced beginner might be able to do this.
The hardest part I think would be the Bobble stitches being done in double stranded yarn, but my testers did not have a problem with it. Only the basket is done with double stranded yarn.
Stitches (US) : sl, sc, inc, dec, hdc, hdc inc, dc, dcinc, dc2tog, mc, shell, bobble, and thermal. There are instructions included for the bobble, shell, and thermal stitches.

Automatic download for pdf document.
This top quality pattern is 20 pages (10 if you print double sided!) and guides you along with plenty of pictures and tips.

The yarn I used: worsted weight, 4 ply.
You will need no more than one 364 yard skein each
This is what I used, but don’t be afraid to do your own version!
