Cheeky Chicken Hat

*A playful and beginner-friendly chicken hat, designed as a quick and joyful project you can finish in just a couple of hours. Worked bottom-up in the round as a straight Stockinette tube, with a folded brim, it naturally forms a square shape. A few small details transform it into a charming little chicken. Worn with the head at the front and the tail at the back, it instantly comes to life. Perfect for Easter, gifts, costumes, or simply adding a touch of humor and warmth to everyday wear.* Want to use a different yarn weight? No problem — a simple adjustment formula is included in the pattern, so you can easily recalculate stitch and row counts to match your gauge. > You automatically receive a **15% > discount** if you purchase 2 or more > patterns from my Ravelry Shop at the > same time (i.e. in ONE transaction, > place them all in your cart before you > check out).
