---- About the Pattern ----
The Plush Granny Square Chicken is crocheted using two simple granny squares. It comes in two sizes so you can create a Mother Hen and a Baby Chick. It is designed using super bulky weight 6 chenille velvet yarn but it can also be made using thinner yarns in cotton or acrylic. This versatile pattern allows for endless yarn color combinations, and can be crocheted using yarn scraps so it’s suitable as a stashbuster project. There are many ways to customize and make use of this amigurumi, such as adding a keyring to turn it into a keychain, or stuffing it with a satchel of lavender to make it into a soothing scent sachet for your car, office, or room. It will add some rustic, farmhouse charm to your life! This pattern is great to make as a gift for your friends and family, as well as a product to sell at craft fairs. It’s the perfect market prep pattern to work up as it’s relatively quick, easy, and an attention grabber!
The PDF pattern includes detailed written instructions, photo references, and links to the step-by-step video tutorial to guide you through the crochet process.
