Easter Chicken
Looking for a delightful pattern for your Easter decoration? This charming knitting pattern for a rooster and chicken duo is perfect for adding a festive touch to your seasonal table and enhancing your home decor. With their vibrant colors and cute designs, these knitted figures will surely steal the spotlight during your holiday celebrations!
The finished rooster stands approximately 3.5 inches (9 cm) tall with a diameter of 2.8 inches (7 cm), while the adorable chicken measures around 3.15 inches (8 cm) tall and has a diameter of 1.97 inches (5 cm). Create these eye-catching pieces to gather around during family gatherings or to gift to loved ones during the Easter season.
To bring this delightful project to life, you will need the following materials:
- 4 double-pointed needles in a size suitable for the yarn weight you are using. For a firm fabric, I recommend using needles that are one or two sizes smaller than the yarn calls for. For this pattern, I used size 2 (3 mm) needles.
- Soft yellow mohair yarn for the chicken, perfect for achieving a fluffy look.
- Bright red yarn for the beak and crest of the rooster, adding a pop of color.
- Toy stuffing to give your creations a nice, plump shape.
- Plastic safety eyes to bring your knitted chicken and rooster to life.
- A yarn needle for finishing techniques.
- A stitch holder to keep your stitches secure while working.
