Stupid hen no 2 is finished. This time, worked from the bottom up. The legs and wings attached on the go. And in a new alternative color combination. What do you think of it?

Overall, it felt better to work the body from the bottom up. However, the comb on the top of the head looked nicer when the body was worked from the top down. That`s the only down side for me.

It was interesting to attach the legs and wings on the go. Basically what it means is that you first crochet the wings and legs, and when you work on the body, you crochet these parts in. This means less sewing at the end.

I know many of you are waiting for the pattern, and I think I´m ready to start writing it down.

But I was thinking, what about a crochet along to make some cute and funny hens together? Let`s say at the end of August.

Let me know in the comments if you`d prefer a crochet along or a pdf pattern.

    I think the stupid hen is gorgeous.
    I would love to do a CAL-not sure how well I will keep up but will give it my best go!
    I love your patterns as they are a little bit different from other ones, and they are very quirky

    I would prefer a pdf, as I may not always be available to participate in a CAL. Thanks so much!🐔

      I would love both!! I moved recently and haven’t unpacked everything yet. Craft room will probably be last, but I’d love some cal craft time!! Alicia

    Fill the internet with hens! Do a crochet a long, you can always release the pattern as a pdf after… fingers are already itching to get started.

    A CAL will be fun to do but I’m not sure if I’ll be ready to join it. A pattern when ready will also be nice. My daughter has a pet chicken so your “stupid” chicken is a sweet little chicken and not at all stupid. 😂❤️

    I’m not partial to either a CAL or pdf, but I am partial to chickens! I raised chickens for many years and now that I’m in a condo which doesn’t allow them, I look for adorable crochet patterns like this. Thanks for sharing, either way!

    A CAL would be fun, but time not always suitable, particularly on this side of the world! PDF please.

    Pdf is gemakkelijk, maar samen haken is ook leuk.

    But… why is she called stupid? I’d like to call her adorable hen instead.

      I would prefer the PDF. There are times when my arthritis makes it difficult for me to crochet.

    Both would actually be great.CALs are fun but not always doable at the time of the CAL. I would love a pdf.

    I think she is Beautiful! She is contemplating… “should I go back into my coup and pull the covers up, or…. should I get moving and face another day!” (Maybe she needs coffee??)

    All of your creations are well done, Mari-Liis. I have worked from your patterns and they are easy to follow and a joy to make. A pdf would be good. Thank you, Janice

    Would love to do a CAL of the stupid hen. She is adorable, but think she needs a dumb cock (rooster) to go with her so she won’t be lonely. Who knows maybe there will even be some chicks along the way.
