Gut nach zu arbeiten
Hatte viel Spaß beim Häkeln. Sehr gut beschrieben und bebildert. Ich hatte nur Probleme damit, dass die Hühner auf den Bechern bleiben, trotz des Gummis.

Fesche Hühner - Eierwärmer/Körbchen

Absolut super
Wie toll ist bitte diese Anleitung und wie schön das Ergebnis? Es hat auch riesig Spaß gemacht, da so viele unterschiedliche Maschen gehäkelt werden. Das Huhn ist einfach zauberhaft - zudem ist Elke sehr freundlich und hilft immer weiter, sollte es mal Fragen geben. Vielen herzlichen Dank dafür! Es gibt keine 6 Sterne - daher "nur" 5.

Super tolles kleines Ostergeschenk
Wollte meiner Oma eine kleine Osterfreude ins Krankenhaus bringen und bin auf dieses süße Huhn gestoßen. Habe es mit Drops Paris und Scheepjes Catona, Nadelstärke 4 und 2,5 gehäkelt. Meine Oma war sehr begeistert.

Schnelles Projekt
Schnelles Projekt für zwischendurch. Arbeitsdauer variiert, je nach dem wie lang man die Girlande machen möchte. Ideal um Wollreste zu verarbeiten. Die Girlande eignet sich auch gut als Geschenkband. Die Anleitung ist gut beschrieben und schön bebildert. Es gibt Textschrift und Häkelschrift. Also für jeden etwas dabei. Klare Weiterempfehlung!

Unterhaltsam zu häkeln!
Wenn man die ausführliche und übersichtliche Anleitung einmal in Ruhe liest und sich mit der "Anatomie" des Tieres vertraut macht, hat man nicht nur ein(e) originelles Huhn/ Geschenk, Verpackung, sondern auch einen kurzweiligen Häkel-Nachmittag. P.S.: Die "Innereien" habe ich nicht gehäkelt, das Huhn bekommt eine andere Füllung.
