Chicken Crochet Pattern Tips and Tricks
Choosing the correct hook size
I have suggested a size of crochet hook to use for this pattern, but you can feel free to adjust it as needed. You can also reference the skein of yarn package to see what mm hook size the manufacturer recommends.
Adding safety eyes
If you’d like, you can use safety eyes on this crochet chicken pattern. Just make sure that you insert safety eyes securely before moving on. If these chickens are for small children, skip the safety eyes and use black yarn to stitch eyes on instead.
Using different yarn
You can feel free to mix it and use different yarn to make these crochet chickens. Try to stay with the same yarn weight if possible. Otherwise you will need to make sure that you change your crochet hook size to match the yarn weight. And remember the finished size of your chicken will be different if using different yarn.
