Complete your Easter home decorations with a cheery and colorful Polka Dots Chicken like this, handmade by you!
 
This pattern describes in US terms how to crochet a sweet amigurumi chicken with colorful Polka Dots as shown in pictures. The pattern is worked in continuous rounds.
Finished size will be approx. 7.5” (19 cm) tall, crocheted using acrylic yarn (8 ply / DK), and hook size E (3.5 mm). If you wish to make a taller or smaller version of this chicken, you can just use thicker or thinner yarn and a matching size crochet hook.
This pattern is also suitable for wool or cotton yarn and it’s great to use some of your yarn scraps for the Polka Dots. Make sure though to use the same weight of yarn for the entire project.
The chicken in pictures was made using Stylecraft Special DK.
