Economy Set "Big Klipp-Klapp and Chicks" - Cute Hens fillable + Heart + Egg

Now the popular fillable hens are also available in a large version. Quickly crocheted with thick chenille wool, it is just the right size for a few Easter sweets. Of course, you can also hide and give away secret messages, money, vouchers, pieces of jewelry, a silk scarf, a tie, socks or other small items.

A wonderful weekend or evening project. The body is crocheted with single crochet stitches, the tail feathers and comb are crocheted directly to the body. The legs are joined together and are also worked in. All you have to do at the end is attach the beak and close a seam, otherwise no sewing is necessary (except for 1 button).

And the super cute little chicks in their eggshells are also included - the special feature here is that the wings are crocheted in directly. So you don't have to sew them on here either.

The instructions include the hens in two versions - multicolored stripes or multicolored without stripes. There are also instructions for the chicks with eggshells, the heart and the egg.

The heart and egg are the perfect filling for your hens (once all the sweets have been eaten).
