Crochet a chicken using two granny squares!

[@SweetSofties]

Here's the granny square tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZfIgnyVftmiecU Please note: I am the original designer of the Granny Square Chicken, published October 2023. Since then, I've seen a lot of copycat patterns using my instructions without permission, going against my terms of use. That is illegal and I am working on contacting those designers to remove them one by one.

[@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!!

[@Schoeneckwren]

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

[@SweetSofties]

That's so kind of you!!!

[@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!

[@sunnysideoflife777]

Do you have a link?? I came here to find if there is a knitted version because I can't crochet 😢

[@gretchenchristophel1169]

@@sunnysideoflife777 It's currently a big thing in L.A.....but, if you think about it you can knit squares in a pattern of your choice and I bet it'll be just as cute. I think if you put "emotional support chicken" in the YT search bar you'll find some options for the knitted version. 🤗

[@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!

[@b3autifullife]

@@SweetSofties ive now made a whole flock. Mum, dad and 5 chick's 😁

[@SweetSofties]

@@b3autifullife that is so awesome!!!!

Vegan Chickens

[@beckytrejo445]

These would make adorable pin cushions.

[@SweetSofties]

Great idea!

[@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!

[@kililoveschad]

Love this idea!!!!! I was just trying to thinknof how to "line" it! This is perfect!!

[@nicknchips]

That’s a great idea…when I made mine I just cut 2 pieces of felt as a “backing” to each granny square.

[@marlahanks7278]

As I posted-GENIUS!!! I also use strips of panty hose to hold up plants to stakes. They stretch so they don't damage the plants.

[@patshipp9195]

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

[@SweetSofties]

Hope you enjoy!!

[@sangeetakamal2893]

This is super cute 😍….making one right now!👌 Your instructions are clear and easy to follow. Thanks for sharing your pattern.

[@SweetSofties]

Thanks so much 😊 I'm happy to hear that!

[@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

[@Lilswamphag]

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

[@paulinecastle1138]

Me too

[@SunCity95]

I just finished my first ever crochet chicken 🐓 and I absolutely love it!! 😍😍 Thank you for this tutorial.

[@SweetSofties]

YAY!! Great job!!!

[@MaryLopez-ps4xy]

So glad I watched the tutorial. Mine was not coming out, but I realized it's because I"m left-handed-- needed to do it facing the opposite direction. These are so Cute! Thanks!

[@Quiltmama31]

Good to know. I'm a leftie too.

[@kathleengreen6889]

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!

[@ashlyn5599]

[@SweetSofties]

I'm so happy to hear that! Yay!!

[@marlahanks7278]

A good friend of mine referred me to this tutorial! Yours is just darling 💗💗I have lots of brown variegated granny squares my mom made years ago that I've not done anything with. I lost her 1.1.18. Even though they're the traditional pattern, I'm pretty sure I can do this with them & figure out a way for the stuffing to not come out. Duh, I normally read comments before posting & see one about using panty hose to put the stuffing in!!! Genius 😊😊

[@SweetSofties]

So sorry to hear about your loss! What a sweet way to celebrate Mom by upcycling her granny squares this way. I feel so honored you chose my pattern for such a special project! Yes, panty hose can work or if you use a cloth liner for the inside of the chicken, that works too!

[@RobynKlouse]

Just made one. Love this pattern!

[@hollyd1208]

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!

[@RKCALGARY]

What a sweet voice. The chicken is sweet too. Thanks!

[@SweetSofties]

Aww thank you!!

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.

This chicken is so adorable! I love the colors you picked for it. I've not crocheted in a while (had to recover from a wrist injury) but I think this project will be easy enough to slowly get back into crocheting. Thank you so much for sharing. By the way, may I know what sort of plier that was that you used to press the back of the safety eyes in? I've always struggled with fastening the safety eyes since they tend to be tight.
