Crochet chicken amigurumi

Knitted chicks amigurumi Is not only a beautiful toy, but also a wonderful souvenir for the Easter holiday. You can knit such a toy with your own hands. The most important thing is to understand the features and study the circuits.

If we talk about the complexity of knitting amigurumi chicken, then it can be defined as easy. Even with a medium knitting speed, the Amigurumi Easter Chicken can be ready in 1 hour.

You need to crochet such a toy using yarn of the same thickness.

Amigurumi chicken will look better when tied small. For the composition, it is recommended to use several chickens, differing from each other in decorative elements.

In order to correctly read knitting patterns, it is recommended that you familiarize yourself with the main generally accepted abbreviations:

• sbn - without a crochet;
• ssn - with a crochet;
• ss2n - with a double crochet;
• pssn - half-column with a crochet;
• ss - so in the diagrams connecting columns or half-columns without a crochet will be indicated;
• x n - repeat a certain number of times;
• VP - air loop.

Having studied and memorized these simple abbreviations, even beginners will be able to figure out the knitting patterns.

Before starting knitting, it is better to prepare everything you need, from tools to decorative elements. The first thing to prepare is hook for knitting.

Next, you need to stock up on the necessary materials.

1. Yarn. The choice of the manufacturer depends on the possibilities. Recommendations for colors: yellow (main color), white - for shells, red - for beaks and legs.
2. Filler - cotton wool, synthetic fluff, holofiber or synthetic winterizer are best suited.
3. Black beads (their number depends on the number of chickens).
4. Small decorative bows.
5. Needle and scissors.

If all the necessary tools and materials are ready, you can proceed to the knitting process.
