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!
