HANGERS – CHICKENS

No more room for crocheted decorations? Every flat surface on shelves, tables and sideboards is full?
Why not just hang it up? :)

Here they come: funny round Chickens to hang up.
They are quickly made without much effort. And there's barely any sewing required.

If you love Chickens there's no reason to wait any longer to make a couple of these! :)

Note:
My patterns have two parts.

• You're a pro? Great, then the first part of my pattern is most likely all you need. You'll find pure crochet instructions there with a few pictures on the side. Have a quick look on page 2 to check which pages to print (the box in the upper left corner).
• You're a beginner? Then additionally to the pure crochet instructions you'll find lots of step-by-step instructions for the different steps in the second part of this pattern. Everything is explained in detail with lots of pictures and in understandable words.
