Work up this crochet chicken pattern to add some easy farm friends to your decor. I love how adorable my little crochet chick looks propped on my kitchen windowsill!
I found these adorable fabric bean bag chicks on Gluesticks Blog and envisioned them as cute little Spring pets to decorate my kitchen. But since you already know I don’t drag my sewing machine out often, I decided to crochet them instead. And there was hatched (ha ha) this cute crochet chicken pattern.

This is adorable! I made some of these for a 2 year old cancer patient who loves chickens! He is bed bound and plays games with these as well as lines them up and says goodnight! I am always so grateful for people like you who share their talents and patterns for free. Blessings.
That warms my heart to hear! Prayers for healing for your sweet little friend!
Thanks so much for sharing about the pattern on Instagram. We buy farm raised eggs from a lady who works in an office setting. This will be a great thank you gift to her as a paperweight. (I crocheted her egg coasters last year). Bless you for sharing you work.
What a nice idea!!
Hope to make it for my thanksgiving table. Thanks for the idea of expired popcorn kernels I have lots of them
Just made one for my kitty. I was trying to get a picture of it but instead I got a picture of him snatching it away. Very cute pattern thank you!

These are adorable! Thank you!
Hi, Kara. I think these would also be great microwave ‘hot pads’! Have you ever seen them? They are like little hot pads for your fingers to take hot dishes out of the microwave! I think, if you just don’t sew up and fill them, that these would be great for that. The only ones I’ve seen have been just plain. 😉
love your little chickens! Unfortunately mine failed! I tried making the smaller chicken … not sure how to assemble!
I am going to have to find something a bit more weighty and make a few of these for my mom. She loves chickens, and these would be good weights for holding open cookbooks, with the right fill.
What a great idea!
Just finished the mom and baby chic,and gave them to a neighbor 2 floors up, started laundry,then sat down to have another look at my little chicken.I accidentally hit the X button which deleted it!! So I’ve come back for another copy. I’m not selling anything. I’m just generous,and also blind and batty! You really hit a nerve in the public.Chickens make a kitchen seem homey,even if you live in the city. And a lot of people have a little yearning to live in the country,with a backyard full of chickens,impossible as that might be.Your pattern is very sweet.Didn’t take long to do-just the perfect pattern for me! Thank you so much,and please forgive my double-dipping into your little chickens! Sincerely,Barbara Burdick
Thanks for sharing 🙂
