I would like to introduce you to a plush chicken amigurumi pattern designed by yuu_universe. I would like to point out that the crocheted toy, which is made using 5 different colors of yarn, can be made in 3 different variations. The details of how to make these different variations are in the last section of the amigurumi pattern. The toy can be a good choice especially for Easter.
Although the yarn brand is not specified in the making of the crocheted chicken, you can crochet the toy using chenille or velvet yarn. The designer used a 4.5mm crochet hook to make this toy. Now if you are ready, let’s start.
