Chicken Coasters & Happily Hooked Magazine Issue 36

April 11, 2017

My Chicken Coasters can be found in the latest issue of the Happily Hooked Magazine – March 2017, Issue 36 – which features some pretty and practical Home Decor Projects.


For Todd’s mom’s birthday last year, he asked me to make some chicken coasters for her because she looovvveeess chickens! I came up with both of these designs, but settled on the Hen ones, and ended up making a set of 6.

They all laughed at the other design, saying it looked like a chicken’s butt! That one was inspired by my Cat Face Coasters – I was going for a similar look. Worked out even better I guess, hehe!

To complete these coasters, you will need less than one skein each of Lily Sugar n Cream Yarn – I used Ecru, Red and Yellow colorways – or about 105 yards of worsted weight cotton yarn, and an I9/5.5mm crochet hook. With one super sized skein, you can easily make 6 – 8 coasters (or maybe even more).

      I love chickens too πŸ™‚ I have been thinking about getting some more, especially now that I work in a bird store and am exposed to all our guests who have birds and hear the stories they share with me. Thanks for the congrats πŸ™‚

    Hi. I am currently working on the Chicken Coasters and have a question. When I get to row 5 you indicate that I should have 33 hdcs when I finish the round. However, if I am following the instructions correctly I end up with 36 hdc. Am I doing something wrong?

      Looking at the math, you are so right. I only made 10 of these – can't believe I didn't catch that! Give me a minute to work one up.

      So… Round 5 should be, Chain 1, turn. 2 HDC into the 1st HDC, HDC into the next 3 HDCs, (2 HDC into the next HDC, HDC into the next 3 HDCs) 5x, 2 HDC into the next HDC, HDC into the next HDC, 2 HDC into the next HDC. (35 HDC) The following row is correct.
      So sorry for the confusion! But thank you for reaching out to me so I can correct it!

Welcome!

Welcome!

Hey! I'm Alexandra, the blogger and creator behind EyeLoveKnots and On Rockwood Lane! My passion is being creative. My favorite thing to do is crochet, and you will almost always find me having a cup of coffee and working on a new crochet project, but when I'm not doing that, you might find me out at a local park rollerblading, baking some fresh cookies, picking veggies in the garden orΒ re-decorating for a new season or holiday. My two cats are great supervisors for all my adventures (minus the being outside because they think it's too hot in Florida to be anywhere but inside), and make sure I take plenty of breaks.
