I just finished making my grandmother a set of these because she loves chickens! It's the only crochet project I've ever stuck to and finished. I've tried to crochet for years but no videos I ever watched made sense to me. This was so clear and easy and you counted the stitches which was something I struggled with. Thank you for being a great teacher! I think I found a new favorite hobby!
don't mind me: 3:20 magic circle, dc 12 into the ring 4:29 close circle, 5:00 2 dc into each stitch 6:08 24 stitches 6:25 1 dc, 2 dc end with 2 dc 36 stitches 7:36 head 9:57 feathers 11:55 6 total 12:30 hair 15:25 beard 17:06 beak 19:13 hiding tails 23:53 eye
Thank you for the chicken pot holder. I have a friend who loves chicken in potholders.Her kitchen is decorated in chickens. Thank you again! And the you exclaimed this, thank you again
I love making the chicken's potholders. I make them for my sister as she has chickens and loves anything chickens. I will make her some of these chicken coasters.
I love chickens and so does a family member who is going to chemotherapy. She has actual chickens. I think this would make her day to make this for her. 😄
oh yes bulky yarn would make them great sized potholders, great idea! I am making mine out of size 2 tropical fruit colored cotton yarn to use for drinks this summer, and to send to my chicken crazy collector relatives lol
Best crochet tutorial I’ve ever watched! I feel like I can do this now! Been Knitting for 20+ years but have struggled to get crochet. Thank you so much!!!
I made the potholder last year. I made one in the white and one in a brown because that is what my husband wanted. He gifted them to our daughter. I will have to make some of these also and see where they end up. TFS
I’m so excited to make these! I have four chickens and I’m going to make each of them as coasters❤️ I’m hoping the Joann closest to me has lily sugar n cream in overcast because it would be perfect for my lil barred rock babies! I’m excited to experiment and see if I can freehand some feathers for my rooster’s tail! The hardest will be my all black girlie who also has a black beak and very dark eyes 😅
Love the pot holder and now the coasters. I had even sewed two of the pot holders together ( I did use a few HDC and DC to form a wider bottom so the chicken could actually sit up after I stuffed it with poly fill. I made it into a stuffy for my 4 year old grandson).
Your tutorial was perfect! I just made a chicken while watching a Christmas movie! 🌲 I will make more in various colors for my sister in law who has adored chickens. Theses are so much fun, super cute & a unique gift! Thank you for sharing ❤
Oh so cute 🥰. I made sheep coasters for a friend's birthday a couple years ago. She has a small farm. I'm going to make her these. Her birthday is coming up in April.
Great pattern. I love crocheting what I consider novelty coasters. I have not done any chickens yet, so I will certainly be trying this one. Thank you.
I made 4 of your pot holders for my daughter for Christmas the year you came out with the tutorial .I still have the cotton I used to make them .Now I can make there to match.
We had thunderstorms last night, so I was up making a few of these. They came out so cute, took longer to sew in ends than it took to make the chicken...lol...but worth the time. Thanks Crystal
I LOVE this!! I am making the potholder for my daughters family. They live on a farm. She wants at least 3 of the chicken potholders and I am going to make these for her too!
