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).
