10 Free Crochet Chicken Patterns
- Chicken Critter by Thomasina Cummings, a Ravelry download: A fun pattern with very clever construction! It could be a "toy, paper-weight or doorstop, depending on your choice of stuffing." So cute!
- The Cluck Clutch by Brigitte Read, on Roman Sock: How have you made it this far in life without a chicken shaped purse? No more!
- Henny Penny - Chicken basket in Nepal by DROPS design: Note, this is not meant to hold actual chickens. Maybe.
- A Chicken for Every Pot by Sue Rivers, on Crochet Again: A chicken themed pot holder! Maybe turn it's little head the other way when making hard boiled eggs.
- Chicken Ornament by Lacey Emery, on Wacky Woolies and Wicked Stitches Blog: Hang one on your tree, another on your doorknob - is there anywhere you can't hang a chicken ornament?
- Chicken Earflap Beanie by Emily R. Snyder, on Ravelry: I made a chicken hat years ago for a friend, in a mix of knit and crochet, but I never wrote it down or shared the pattern. Now thanks to Emily every crocheter can have one! Awesome!
- Welcome Chicken by Jocelyn Sass, on Craftown.com: Let everyone who comes over know you love a good chicken door hanging!
- Crocheted Rooster on Karens Variety, via the Internet Archive: This is amazing! Worked all in thread and remarkably detailed!

- Hen Sweater by plumcreekmama, on PlumCreekMama's Blog: Happen to have a few of the real cluckers in your coop? Keep them warm on extra cold days with these!
So which came first - chicken or the egg? How about which one was crocheted first! I have no idea, but I do know it seems there's not a thing that crochet can't do. Hope you've enjoyed this fun roundup of free crochet chicken patterns!

Hi Tamara,
Thank you so much for including Mama Chicken in the Roundup. I love the tongue-in-cheek tone of this post. You can never have enough crochet chickens, I say 🙂
