Henry's Hen "Thyme"

Introduce a touch of creativity and nostalgia to your knitting projects with our delightful **“Thyme the Hen” lifesize knitted hen pattern**. This charming pattern comes as a response to my nephew Henry’s heartfelt request to create a knitted replica of his beloved pet hen, Thyme, who sadly passed away this summer due to old age. Through this meaningful project, Henry can cherish unforgettable memories of his favorite feathered friend forever.

The **Knitted Thyme** hen stands proudly on her delicate feet, showcasing intricate knitting features that bring her to life. One of the standout elements of this design is the unique row of "feathers" I crafted for Thyme's tail and wings, which add an adorable and realistic touch. This pattern not only captures Thyme’s essence but also allows for creative exploration, making it perfect for knitters of all skill levels.

As a special surprise for Henry, I also designed a matching hen beanie that complements the lifesize hen perfectly. This chicken-themed beanie adds an extra layer of fun and warmth to your knitting endeavors. Both patterns are now available, making this a fantastic project to work on during the cozy months ahead.

Although the sample was knit using **Patons Pearl** (now discontinued), we have provided a **substitute yarn** for your convenience, ensuring you can easily replicate this charming hen. Whether you are looking for a heartfelt gift, a nostalgic keepsake, or simply a fun knitting challenge, the **Thyme the Hen** pattern is an excellent choice for any knitting enthusiast.
