Learn how to crochet two cute chicken coasters, which can be made in just 30 minutes with a step-by-step tutorial. The tutorial covers the materials needed, including two strands of Samaritan yarn and a 3mm crochet hook. It guides through the initial rounds to form the base, then demonstrates how to create the chicken’s tail using triple crochets and its beak.
Finally, it shows how to add red yarn for the comb and suggests adding an eye with a needle and thread. So, follow through with us for the complete tutorial.
Materials Used
-
Yarn: Samarion yarn, used in a double strand for sturdiness.
-
Hook: 3mm crochet hook.
Crochet Process
The tutorial guides viewers through several rounds to create the coaster’s base and then adds details for the chicken’s features.
-
First Round: Begin by making three chains, then work double crochets into the first chain. Alternatively, a magic ring can be used.
-
Second Round: After joining the first round with a slip knot, chain three. Then, work two double crochets into each chain from the previous round.
-
Third Round: Join with a slip knot and chain three. In the same space, make a double crochet. The pattern for this round alternates between two double crochets in one stitch and one double crochet in the next.
-
Fourth Round: Join with a slip knot and chain three. Make a double crochet in the same space. The pattern for this round involves making two double crochets together, followed by one double crochet in each of the next two chains.
-
Subsequent Rows for Shaping: The video then demonstrates how to continue shaping the coaster by chaining three, turning the work, and following a pattern of three consecutive double crochets followed by two double crochets in one stitch.
-
Creating the Tail (Feathers): To form the chicken’s tail, skip two chains and make six double crochets in the third chain. Skip two more chains and join with a single crochet. This pattern is repeated to create multiple loops.
-
Adding the Beak: Yellow yarn is added to create the beak. This involves making incomplete double crochets in consecutive stitches and then pulling through all loops on the hook, followed by chaining three and joining with a slip knot.
-
Adding the Comb (Red Top): Red yarn is used to create the comb on top of the chicken’s head. This involves chaining three, making a double crochet in the same space, chaining three again, and then joining with a slip knot in the same space. This pattern is repeated along the top of the head.
