Crochet a chicken using two granny squares!

[@SweetSofties]

Exciting news! A crochet kit is available for this project at: yarnsea.com/en/project/2147/granny-square-chicken

[@k.t.4613]

This is great because there's so many beautiful squares I want to make but I don't want to make a blanket. So now I'm just gonna make an army of chickens instead 😂❤

[@SweetSofties]

Hahaha an army of chickens sounds great!!! I get you....I don't have the patience to make a granny square blanket!

[@NormaRita11]

My first chicken amigurumi! She is very flirty!!! Love it!! ❤

[@BeeBeeimonotfact]

I was thinking the same thing. I sell things at flea markets and craft fairs I have over 100 granny squares at any given time because I sell them because some people can't make them but they want to make things with them. And I was thinking I can use the ones that are not really popular to make these. Happy crocheting everyone

I make rabbits with mine. I have a bunny army in my house!

[@paulinecastle1138]

Me too

[@gretchenchristophel1169]

There is currently (2023-24)a trend for "emotional support chickens"....larger chickens that are knitted. They are cute as the dickens...but this is w-a-y cuter. I love that these are small and could be tucked into a purse. I have been wanting to make an emotional support chicken for a girlfriend of mine that has trauma related issues, but just felt the knitted ones were a bit too large. This is the perfect solution for something smaller she can carry/take with her. Thank you for another great tutorial 🤗

[@SweetSofties]

Aww that's so sweet of you to make this as a special gift for your friend!! I'm sure she will cherish it!

[@charliegumbo9861]

I made my prototype chicken from this pattern and my husband immediately claimed it to display in his car!🤣 Love the content! Thanks!

[@SweetSofties]

I LOVE that your husband claimed your granny square chicken!! Hahaha that is so cute. Thank you for sharing!!

[@beckytrejo445]

These would make adorable pin cushions.

[@SweetSofties]

Great idea!

[@Schoeneckwren]

I wish there was a LOVE button. I more than like this.

[@SweetSofties]

That's so kind of you!!!

[@b3autifullife]

I made one of these today just for fun and I love it. I live in the country and all my friends here have chickens, so I'll be making heaps of these to gift to them. Thanks.

[@SweetSofties]

Aww that's so awesome to hear! What a great gift for your friends!

That's the cutest chicken I've seen so far. I will be making one for myself. Thank you. 💖💖👍👍🙏🙏💖💖

[@SweetSofties]

Hope you enjoy!!

[@sometimesiwander7146]

I love this. It’s so adorable and such a great way to use up my test granny squares. Your voice is so soothing too. Thx for the videos.

[@SweetSofties]

So happy to hear you enjoy the tutorial! And I agree - great way to use up granny squares. Thank you!!

[@trixieknits]

So cute. These would make cute Xmas ornaments.

[@giayu2595]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. This is great for using up my stash of granny squares and they make great gifts!

[@SweetSofties]

You're so welcome ! Happy crocheting!

[@donnas2375]

Oh my gosh, I'm going to make the chicken with exactly your Spring Court Granny Squares; however, I got to thinking that if someone has other squares with light and airy holes, they can always put their stuffing in a leg of some pantyhose (that you tie off inside after you're sure you like it; right before closing up the chicken). I saw another gal that makes big plushies use pantyhose stuffing liners and I thought that was brilliant!

[@SweetSofties]

That's a good tip! I do that for some of my amigurumis made with bulky yarn!

[@HuskyMama1009]

Very cute, not even a granny square fan but want to make this! New subscriber too.

Thank you so much for designing and teaching us this adorable patterns! I just foubd you channel and this chicken last night. Several have stolen or copied your design. You are the designer. Thank you again! My grandchildren will love these! xxx🐥

[@SweetSofties]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I know your grandchildren will absolutely love beautifully handmade gifts! Can you share with me links of the stolen/copied projects? If it's easier, you can email them to me at sweetsofties (at) gmail, or send them via Instagram @SweetSofties. This would help me out so much! I rely on my viewers to tell me about these things because the internet is so vastly, I have trouble trakcing down all of the copied/stolen content despite best efforts. I really appreciate it!

[@Marny5580]

Adorable. I guess if you make a larger granny square the little chick will be larger, too. Good job. Thank you.

[@SweetSofties]

Yep, a larger granny square will make a bigger chicken!

[@cindycarroll9007]

I can't wait to make these! I love making granny squares and these are so cute! I have a bunch of holiday colors in some sparkly Caron Simply Soft yarn that might be fun since Christmas is right around the corner. Thanks for a sharing such a great pattern! Your tutorials are wonderful!!

[@SweetSofties]

That's awesome to hear, hope you have lots of fun crocheting these chickens! Glad you like my tutorials! :)

[@hollyd1208]

I just made a dozen of them! I added a piece of yarn through the top of the crown and going to give as gifts for Christmas ornaments. My corner hole was too big and I had trouble with keeping eyes in so I sewed hole closed first. I also hate to sew, so I just slip stitched closed using outside loops. I LOVE THIS PATTERN!! You and the tutorial are wonderful! Thanks for sharing it!

This chicken pattern made with your Spring Court Granny Square turned out so pretty. I did have to put my safety eyes in one stitch behind where you put yours because when I put them in the chain 2 space the immediately pulled out.

[@hiobi1172]

Holy Moly... I love this chick design! I did a few as gifts for friends and they love it too! Easy to make, but as you pointed out, it's got to be a tight weave or the fillings may fall through the stitches if they are too big. Still.... it's a cute and easy-to-make design. Thank you so so much for sharing and teaching 🥰. Any chance of doing cows? I've got a whole basket of chicks now, hahahaha!😂

[@SweetSofties]

So awesome to hear! Glad you like this pattern! I don’t have a cow pattern yet. Are you thinking of a regular cow doll or one made into a granny square pyramid like this chicken?

[@hiobi1172]

I was thinking of a normal cute cow but.....oh wowee! You can make a granny square pyramid cow?!?...😳😲. I actually saw a cow pattern from Etsy (she charges for the pattern of course) and there's a little calf inside her stomach which you can pull out from her butt... hahahaha. I thought that would be a pretty awesome thing to make. 🤭

[@SweetSofties]

I'm not sure how exactly to proceed with a granny square pyramid cow (due to the funky shape) but I'll think on it! I haven't made a normal cow yet, but that'd be an awesome next project! Pretty cool to hear about that calf design haha

[@stephaniefitz1657]

Love the cute little chick! May I ask, what is the tool for attaching the safety eyes called and where did you get it? It looks perfect for making amigurumi toys! Also it occurred to me that stitching a square of felt to the back side of the granny squares would keep stuffing from coming out- just a thought! I love your adorable design and great tutorial 😊

[@SweetSofties]

The tool is in process of manufacturing right now! There was a kickstarter campaign for it that failed since it didn't meet its $ goal, so the creator is now trying to get a loan to mass-produce the tool. It's in the works right now but I have no idea how long it'll take to release! Sorry about that! And yes, some felt behind the granny squares would help with keeping stuffing in!! Great idea!
