Required Materials ​Amigurumi Yarn: Desired color for the body (orange, white, black, brown, or heather/tweed yarn), red for the comb and wattle, yellow for the beak, and light brown/beige for the feet. ​Crochet Hook: 2.00 mm or 2.20 mm (depending on your yarn weight). ​Safety Eyes: 5 mm or 6 mm safety eyes (or you can embroider them with black yarn). ​Fiberfill: Polyester fiberfill stuffing. ​Other: Keychain ring/hardware, darning needle, stitch marker, and scissors. ​Abbreviations (US Terms) ​MR: Magic Ring ​Sc: Single crochet ​Inc: Increase (2 single crochet in the same stitch) ​Dec: Decrease (Single crochet 2 stitches together) ​W: 3 single crochet in the same stitch ​Ch: Chain ​Sl st: Slip stitch ​Hdc: Half double crochet ​BLO: Back Loop Only ​FLO: Front Loop Only ​St(s): Stitch(es) ​Rep: Repeat ​???? Step-by-Step Pattern ​1. Body and Head (One Piece) ​The body starts from the bottom and narrows down as it continues into the head. We will use the BLO technique at the bottom to give it a slightly flat base. ​Round 1: 6 sc in MR (6) ​Round 2: 6 inc (12) ​Round 3: (1 sc, 1 inc) * 6 times (18) ​Round 4: (2 sc, 1 inc) * 6 times (24) ​Round 5: (3 sc, 1 inc) * 6 times (30) ​Round 6: (4 sc, 1 inc) * 6 times (36) ​Round 7: BLO 36 sc (36) (This round creates a sharp edge for the base). ​Rounds 8 - 13 (6 rounds): Sc in each st around (36) ​Round 14: (4 sc, 1 dec) * 6 times (30) ​Round 15: Sc in each st around (30) (This shapes the transition from body to head). ​Round 16: (3 sc, 1 dec) * 6 times (24) ​Rounds 17 - 21 (5 rounds): Sc in each st around (24) (This forms the head). ​???? Attaching Eyes & Stuffing: Insert the safety eyes between rounds 18 and 19, leaving about 4-5 stitches between them. Secure the back washers. Start stuffing the body firmly with fiberfill. ​Round 22: (2 sc, 1 dec) * 6 times (18) ​Round 23: (1 sc, 1 dec) * 6 times (12) (Add more fiberfill through the opening to ensure the head stands firm). ​Round 24: 6 dec (6) ​Fasten off: Cut the yarn, weave the tail through the remaining 6 stitches using a needle, pull tight to close the hole, and hide the yarn tail.

​2. Wings (Make 2) ​Crocheted using the body color. We will make a flat circle and fold it in half. ​Round 1: 6 sc in MR (6) ​Round 2: 6 inc (12) ​Round 3: (1 sc, 1 inc) * 6 times (18) ​Fasten off: Sl st to the next st. Fold the piece in half to form a semi-circle (half-moon shape). Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail for sewing. ​3. Tail (Make 1) ​Crocheted using the body color. We will use chain loops to create a textured, scalloped look. ​Row 1: Ch 7, starting from the 2nd ch from hook: 6 sc, ch 1, turn. ​Row 2: (Ch 3, sl st into the next stitch) * Repeat this until the end of the row to create 3 small waves/scallops. Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail for sewing. ​4. Comb (Red Color) ​You can either attach the yarn directly to the top of the head or crochet it separately and sew it on. Crocheting it separately is easier: ​Row 1: Ch 7. ​Row 2: Starting from the 2nd ch from hook: (In the same stitch: 1 sl st, 2 hdc, 1 sl st). Move to the next stitch and repeat the same pattern. Repeat across to create a total of 3 small peaks. Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail for sewing

​5. Beak and Wattle ​Beak (Yellow): Ch 3. 1 sc in the 2nd ch from hook, 1 sl st in the last ch. Fasten off. You will get a small triangle. ​Wattle (Red): In a MR, work: (ch 2, 1 hdc, ch 2, 1 sl st). Repeat this process one more time inside the same magic ring to make a double wattle. Pull the ring tight and fasten off. ​6. Feet (Beige/Light Brown - Make 2) ​To make the tiny claws under the chicken: ​Attach the yarn to the front loops (FLO) of Round 7 at the bottom of the body. ​Ch 2, 1 hdc in the same stitch, ch 2, sl st into the same stitch. Move to the next stitch and repeat the process to create a 2 or 3-toed tiny foot look. ​???? Assembly and Sewing ​Comb and Wattle: Sew the comb right on the center-top of the head. Sew the wattle directly in the middle of the two eyes, about 1-2 rounds below eye level. ​Beak: Place and sew the yellow beak right above the red wattle (so that the wattle hangs just below the beak). ​Wings: Take the folded semi-circle wings and sew them onto the sides of the body around rounds 12 and 13, making sure the curved side faces backward. ​Tail: Sew the scalloped tail to the back-center of the body, level with the wings. ​Keychain: Securely sew the keychain ring to the top of the head, just behind the comb.
