Henrietta the Little Brown Hen

Say hello to Henrietta the little brown hen! She is a very sweet and cuddly chicken, who likes nothing better than laying eggs and hanging out with her hen friends. Henrietta is 16cm / 6 inches tall – just the right size to cuddle in your hand. This pattern includes knitting instructions for Henrietta and her friends. It also tells you how to adapt the pattern to create a colourful flock of your own chickens, to use up odds and ends of DK yarn in your stash.

Henrietta is knitted flat on a pair of 4mm (UK 8/ US 6) knitting needles, making her a great project for a beginner: no need to knit in the round. She's knitted using DK yarns - you'll need 4 shades, and yarn suggestions are given with the pattern. The knitting pattern includes detailed making up instructions and colour photos to help you on your way.
