What does amigurumi means?
The word Amigurumi comes from Japanese. The Japanese call handicrafts knitted with crochet and needle as Ami. The Japanese call the toys that are filled with objects such as fibers or cotton as Nuigurumi. The word Amigurumi is derived as a combination of these two words.

Body
The beginning can be a bit tricky, but go slowly and you should be fine. Chain 6, turn Work 4 sc in the following 4 chains, 3 sc in the next chain, 3 sc in the following 3 chains (you’re working around the chain, and should now be “heading back”), 2 sc in the chain you started working in. You should now have 12 sc in a slightly oval shape, which is forming the head; this is where the comb is sowed on later. Start working around.

PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER
Attach the bottom to the body; fill it with stuffing as you go. Make sure you have one of the
“peeks” of the triangle-shaped bottom at the very back. Put the legs between the body and the
bottom at the other 2 corners of the triangle, and make sure you sow through them as you go. When
you have about 2 inches to go, put popcorn underneath the stuffing so that the hen can sit up.
Attach the beak and wings where you want them, and sew the comb on along the starting chain at
the top of the head. Embroider eyes, I used french knots but anything you prefer will work. All done!
