Stuffing and Closing the Body:

Cut a tail from your yarn, approximately 30 cm long.
Start stuffing with fiber fill before closing.

Closing:

Use a tapestry needle to crisscross close the body.
Make sure to add more stuffing if needed before fully closing.

Creating the Comb (Red Yarn):

Insert your crochet hook three single crochets down from the tip.
Grab the red yarn and chain 2.

Turn the chicken around and make 3 dc in the next sc besides the 2 chains.

Make a single crochet beside those 3 dc, then sl st to close the comb.
Pull the yarn tail through the sl st.
With the tapestry needle, go between the bottom of the comb to tie a knot with the tails and conceal them inside the chicken.

Adding Eyes and Beak:

Note: If using safety eyes, place them before stuffing and closing the chicken.
Embroider the beak using the yellow yarn by going around three times.
Embroider the eyes using black yarn by going around three or four times.
Conceal the yarn ends inside the chicken with the tapestry needle.

Your cute crochet chicken is now complete!
