Made 2 emotional support chickens for me, and I have 4 to make for female family members. LOVE the idea of putting a knitted heart in them - someone else mentioned in the comments.
I have 21 emotional sucking I mean support actual chickens. Actually they are hubby’s babies. I have folks give me stuffed plush chickens so I’m more inclined to crochet anything BUT chickens. Have fun!
i can imagine my landlords face when i tell him i'm getting an emotional support chicken. yes, i need this in my life. maybe several. i love the colors you've choose.
Just don’t overthink it! I love my ESC. And keep saying I’m going to make her a friend but haven’t started in it yet. They turn out pretty nice matter the color placement! Best not to stress about it, it’ll turn out cute no matter what. Also just pull out a little bit of yarn regardless if it’s the same type of yarn or not! 💜 we all need good distractions every now and then! And chickens are wonderful distractions!
🐔Thank you, Shannon you will love the chicken and I guarantee you will make one for yourself, I have made six every time someone sees them they want one😂🐓
Use white or cream for your stripes & contrasting color on tail. That would pop and be really pretty. I am just about done with my first one... Grey with a pink/purple/white variegated. I used red glitter yarn for the wattle & comb. Can't wait to finish her, as I've got a few more in the pipeline for Xmas gifts. Instead of this being the Christmas of Hats, it looks like it's the Christmas of Chickens...
I get that. I love the idea of sparkle red for the waddle and comb. I happen to have some sparkle red and a chicken in need of it’s waddle and comb. Perfect! Thank you
I have made 2 chickens, now I found the crochet pattern. #3 in work. Now the thought of one in fingering is wandering around my thought process. And yes I have other things on my needles.... but oh well. This is fun.
I warned you. I have made 2 using Caron latte cakes. You don’t have to change colors because the yarn does that. Plus they are fluffy! In total I have made 4 with one on the needles.
Oh, I hadn’t thought of that yarn. I conveniently have some in my stash. What color(s) did you do for contrasting? I heard someone saying they used doubled scrap sock yarn. Oh, be still my heart, I have to do that.
I caved to. I finished one side off the tail and currently working on the other side. We all could use an emotional support chicken. I'm afraid my colors are not as bold
Oh my. I saw the earlier video where someone waa talking about those chickens. Those are way to cute. Hey it will get done cause no sleeves are involved. Just saying lol.
Lol I have a number of unfinished (timed out) projects. They live in my craft room closet in bags over a hanger. The door is closed and way to much stuff to get in. Lol
My pattern library is in the closet of my craft room. It had way to much stuff in front of the door for me to get to my physical patterns for way to long. I get the stashed projects
I ended up knitting 3 Emotional Support Chickens. I got the crochet pattern but haven’t crocheted one yet. Either knit or crochet you can definitely use worsted/Aran yarn (pattern calls for it) and an F hook
Ok, I get it. On row 7, section 1 you crochet back 11 of the 17 stitches per the row ( you have 6 left). On row 12 you crochet 5, chain 12 then turn. Working in 2nd chain back. (11 for chain, 5 stitches + the original 6 stitches you hadn’t worked) you should be at the full end of the row. (Email me if still confused)
@@anotheryarn That's what I just popped on to say . I figured it out. By the time I got to row 7, I thought I was doing the same as the previous rows and saw 11 as 17. When all else fails, read the instructions! 🤦🏻♀️ Thank you so, so much!
we all NEED an emotional support chicken in our lives LOL 🦃
Yes we do 🥰

Just finished my first chicken last week for my daughter (27) we put a knitted heart inside 💓
I like that idea, maybe I’ll do the same thing. They are pretty cute.
I have 21 emotional sucking I mean support actual chickens. Actually they are hubby’s babies. I have folks give me stuffed plush chickens so I’m more inclined to crochet anything BUT chickens.
Have fun!
😂
I grew up with chickens but that was decades ago. I have to settle with these.
i can imagine my landlords face when i tell him i'm getting an emotional support chicken. yes, i need this in my life. maybe several. i love the colors you've choose.
They are pretty cute. The more you look at them the more they grow on you.
I may have to make a pair of these, one for my BFF and me. She's a chicken person. And I'm just captivated by this silly chicken!
There are a lot of options if you don’t want to make up your own pattern. Tons of k it and crochet Choices
I think a lot of us fell for the emotional support chicken 😂
I didn’t mean to 🤣
@@anotheryarn 🤣
The emotional support chickens are such a cute idea, even tho I'm not particularly a chicken person, lol!
There is something about them that says they must be made 🥰

Just finished it, you are right, I was way overthinking it. The end result is adorable and on my Monday morning video. I’ll make more too.
You made me realize I need an emotional support chicken too. 😆
I’ve only got tail feathers so far and already have people in my life who want one.
I bought the pattern last week. I just know I’m going to be making a whole flock of them! So cute.
I think I need to also. People have seen them and claimed ones not even made 🤣
One of my favorite things to crochet is the chickens ❤
I used to crochet chickens as a little girl along with nests to put them in.
🐔Thank you, Shannon you will love the chicken and I guarantee you will make one for yourself, I have made six every time someone sees them they want one😂🐓
I get that. I’ve got multiple already claimed and haven’t even finished one yet.

I'm trying really hard not to fall for the chicken....
I tried that route and failed
That first chicken looked meaty. A noro would be interesting. Don't resist the chicken!
I think I’m going to use a bright blue as my contrast. Now that I’ve decided I can get back to working on my chicken
@@anotheryarn I believe in you 🥇
@@hookthatyarn I might have just grabbed those size 5’s for a different project
I recently gave in to the chicken too. Bought a kit during our state's wool walk last week. Now I'm kind of consumed about making this!
They are adorable and not as difficult as they look
This is the first ive heard of the emotional support chicken. Thanks for sharing. I definitely need to check it out.
It’s too late for you now. You have been introduced, it is inevitable, they will start talking to you until you are looking at chicken patterns
@@anotheryarn uh...it is to late. I already did!
@@ChristiJHutchins Now that is hilarious. I resisted for a few days and then it got me 🤣
I have made 2 chickens, now I found the crochet pattern. #3 in work. Now the thought of one in fingering is wandering around my thought process. And yes I have other things on my needles.... but oh well. This is fun.
See we always get sucked into the new pretty patterns. I’m good with it. Loving all the e crafts.

I heard someone saying they used doubled scrap sock yarn. Oh, be still my heart, I have to do that.
@@anotheryarn one is made with Earl Gray and the other is Red Macaron.
I caved to. I finished one side off the tail and currently working on the other side. We all could use an emotional support chicken. I'm afraid my colors are not as bold
I agree, whether it’s a chicken or something we could all use a little emotional support once in a while.
That's just what I need right now, too! An emotional Support Chicken.
The pattern is linked in the description box, you can make your very own
I jump on the emotional support chicken train I order a kit. Can’t wait to get started. Love your colors.
Any suggestions for the contrast color. When I looked the kits were sold out. Good for them, great business presentation, I’m happy they have more in.
Oh my. I saw the earlier video where someone waa talking about those chickens. Those are way to cute. Hey it will get done cause no sleeves are involved. Just saying lol.
You do have a point 🤔
I have the pattern and it is in the queue. I'm thinking of using my mini skeins from Aberdeen.
That would be cute 😍
I’m hearing about the minis for this and I think I’ll have to make another to try it.
Yes, I’ve seen people talk of it with doubled sock yarn. I’m hear for it, I think that has to be another after this one and all the other things.
Where do you always find these interesting pattern/ideas? You are amazing! 🐔🐣🐤🐥🐔🐓💜💜💜
I blame Jackie @croch80HD she introduced me
Neck stripes should be your daughters favorite color. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
That’s a good idea
sc in black. that way later when if you the black it will look great.
That’s a great idea
Lol I have a number of unfinished (timed out) projects. They live in my craft room closet in bags over a hanger. The door is closed and way to much stuff to get in. Lol

There is a pattern for a chicken done on the circular knitting machines that I have been contemplating. Just need to buy some stuffing.
I need to get more stuffing too. I definitely don’t have enough for this chicken
I’m on my seventh, my friends love them.
I’m hoping to exit the chicken production factory before my number gets that high 🤣
now I need one - lol - I have to be strong lol
I wasn’t strong enough 🤣
😊
🐥
Oh god! No thanks, so much emoting!
🤣
hi cute chicken
These will be cute 🥰
you're knitting the chicken out of noro?? As much as i love the chicken, it feels blasphemous :D
I used Plymouth Gina, it really does have a Noro look to it.
hi what crochet hook size did you do and is it worsted weight yarn
I ended up knitting 3 Emotional Support Chickens. I got the crochet pattern but haven’t crocheted one yet.
Either knit or crochet you can definitely use worsted/Aran yarn (pattern calls for it) and an F hook
I bought the crochet pattern. I'm so confused on the tail. Section 2 says sc 5, ch 12, turn, SC in each to end, turn (22)
5+12=17 not 22 🤷♀️
I just purchased the pattern for the crochet version. Give me a bit to look it over. Feel free to email me, I’ll help if I can.
Ok, I get it. On row 7, section 1 you crochet back 11 of the 17 stitches per the row ( you have 6 left). On row 12 you crochet 5, chain 12 then turn. Working in 2nd chain back. (11 for chain, 5 stitches + the original 6 stitches you hadn’t worked) you should be at the full end of the row. (Email me if still confused)
@@anotheryarn That's what I just popped on to say . I figured it out. By the time I got to row 7, I thought I was doing the same as the previous rows and saw 11 as 17. When all else fails, read the instructions! 🤦🏻♀️ Thank you so, so much!
@@michellem5997 I’m happy you figured it out. 🥰
Hi how are you
I’m doing great, how are you
Okay
@@CharleneTaylor-kz8lz I’m happy to hear that.
