  2. Love your pattern! I now have chickens hanging on the wall over my stove! Thank you! Diyhowto.Com has a link to your page with a picture of your chicken. Placed on top of it is a flower potholder. They used the same colors for both so it appears as if the flower is part of your chicken pattern. The pattern for the flower is posted down further on their page.

  11. I made two identical chicken bodies (finishing off after the first body), used the sc "spine" row at the top of body #2 to join the 2 pieces together at the top (I also knotted together the 2 ends from the respective magic circles for greater stability). After making the head on body #2, I used the next few sc and final sl st to seal the breast of the chicken. Finally, I used the finishing scallops of the bottom (where I used brown yarn so it would look like a broody hen sitting on a clutch of brown eggs) to finish sealing the two bodies together.

  12. I made the entire chicken with size H hook, which looks a bit neater, I think. I doubled the thickness by making two main parts, including heads. I connected them together by doing the top of head, beak,& waddle through both thicknesses. I put an eye on each side of potholder ( so it's reversible!). I connected the curved bottom with single crochet in same color as main part of chicken before doing the shell row in multicolored yarn. I whip-stitched the center area together( I did not crochet up & down the center edge; instead, I whip-stitched it together & added a ch10 loop separately at the very end.I also whip-stitched the breast area together. Turned out really cute! Thanks for the pattern.

  19. Is this just for decoration or can I actually use them?

    ReplyDelete
  20. yes you can use it and I think it you make it double sided then it will be thick enough for heat.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Using 2 strands of yarn instead of one will make it sturdier as well as more protection from heat.

  26. Thank you so much for this exciting pattern. I was so happy with the outcome that I next made one with jute twine (and no separate colours). Having used this twine on a different project I pre-washed the twine in fabric softener. It was gratefully received as a present I'm glad to say.

    I just made these for a commission! I hope you view my blog and check out how they turned out. I enjoyed making these so much. Instead of whip-stitching 2 together to make it thicker, I just crocheted with two strands of the yarn, which made them very nice. I appreciate this easy pattern. Thanks!
