Crochet Chicken Chef
Materials Needed:
- Crochet yarn in various colors (as specified in the video)
- Crochet hook (size not specified in the scraped text)
- Stitch marker
- Yarn needle for sewing parts together
- Safety eyes (5 mm suggested)
- Glue for attaching parts if necessary
Body:
- Start with a magic ring.
Round 1:
- Make 7 single crochet (sc) stitches into the magic ring. Pull the yarn end to close the circle. Mark the last stitch with a stitch marker.
Round 2:
- Increase in each stitch around (14 sc).
After Round 3:
- (1 sc, then 1 increase) repeat this pattern 6 more times (21 sc).
Round 4:
- (1 sc, 1 increase, 1 sc) repeat this pattern 6 more times.
Rounds 6-8:
- 1 sc in each stitch around (35 sc in each round).
For Round 9:
- (2 sc, 1 increase) repeat this pattern 6 more times (42 sc).
Rounds 10-15:
- 1 sc in each stitch around (42 sc in each round).
Round 16:
- (5 sc, 1 decrease using only the front loops for an invisible decrease) repeat 5 more times.
In Round 17:
- (4 sc, 1 decrease) repeat 5 more times. Begin stuffing the body.
Rounds 18-20:
- Continue as previous rounds with slight pattern adjustments and stuffing.
Round 21 (last round of the body):
- Make 6 decreases, then finish off by closing the body and weaving in the ends.
Eyes:
- Insert safety eyes between rounds 7 and 8, leaving 4 stitches between them. Enhance around the eyes using white yarn for an expressive look.
Hands:
- Count 3 stitches behind and 1 round down from the eyes to place the hands.
- Crochet a small chain (4 chains), make 1 single crochet, and then 2 half-double crochet stitches along the chain for each hand. Finish with a slip stitch and weave in ends.
Apron:
- Start with a slip knot and crochet a chain long enough for the apron width.
- Crochet single crochet stitches starting from the second chain from the hook, creating the apron's body.
- Crochet around the edges for a neater finish and create straps by chaining and attaching them to the top of the apron.
Hat:
- Begin with a magic ring.
- Follow a similar increase pattern as the body for the first few rounds.
- Decrease to form the top of the hat and finish by crocheting in front loops only for the last round.
- Sew the hat onto the head.
Knife:
- Create a slip knot and chain 9.
- Work slip stitches and a combination of double and half-double crochet stitches down the chain to form the blade and handle.
- Secure the knife under one of the hands with glue.
Final Assembly:
- After completing all the parts, assemble the chicken chef according to the placement described or shown in the video. Attach the hat, apron, and other accessories.
- Remember to glue parts cautiously if needed and to place safety eyes securely for a neat finish.
