Chicken Head?

[wrenlover]

Call me crazy, but I swear I saw a crocheted chicken head that sets on the

top of a pot lid. Has anyone seen this too or have I gone completely bonkers?

If you have seen it, is there a pattern? It was the funniest/cutest thing! (even if it is all in my mind:think )

Thank You for posting the pattern

That is great! I am glad you were able to get a pattern, the one I saw was white and sitting atop of a pan lid....just don't remember who had it posted. Oh well, this one is very cute too.

 

Andrea, the one you, I and Wren (and I'm sure many others) saw that got this thread started was on Julie's blog... http://www.livejournal.com/users/skamamawa/ about 2/3 down the page. Thank you again Julie (and lavendarblitz).

I just used LJ user Lavendarblitz's instructions here and free handed it...

Let's see. First, use cotton. I think it was either in hdc or dc with an H hook, I think. So, I would put 8 sts to start the circle for hdc and 12 sts to start if it's in dc. I made two big circles which were slip stitched tog right sides out. I made two smaller circles for the head. Sew these tog about 3/4 of the way, stuff with polyfill, then dc the remainder toward the front of one of the big circles. Dc shells for the top feathers. Chains for the tail feathers and buttons for the eyes. I think I just made a tiny cone for the nose and sewed it on.

Diamond,

 

 

It is here http://www.livejournal.com/users/skamamawa/ but I do not see a pattern there. I guess it does'nt hurt to ask... or Beg:lol ,

 

See what I can do?!

Wren? Did you ever find the site that had the cute chicken hot lid potholder pattern? If so, could you please share it? My friend is re-doing her kitchen in hens/roosters and I cannot find the pattern anywhere. I would very much appreciate it if you did. Thanx just in case.

That is SO cute. But I dont see the instructions for making it.

 

Are there any?

Here's another use for it: to cover a raw chicken!

That scared me!

 

 

I appreciate the creativity.. just was a bit shocking at first!

[wrenlover]

That was totally out there! Those eyeballs are creepy *yet* very creative!!

Would never thought of the eyeball on an ear of corn! I love how incredibly artistic people are, especially in crochet.

I'll have to keep checking back, that's hilarious! They'd be perfect for stocking stuffers for friends/parents etc... lol

[diamond]

I am sure I had seen it on another website recently with a pattern. I'll keep checking. I check my History files and see what that comes up with. I know I had seen it.

[wrenlover]

Thank you so so much. I'm not crazy after all .

 

Wish there was a pattern that is soooooo cute!!!

[Jewels]

it's on Julie's journal

[diamond]

Thanks Everyone! It was on a blog. But I cannot remember which one:think .

 

There may not have been a pattern, it was just too cute and funny. I thought it would make a great housewarming gift if I could get a pattern.

I thought it was on a blog, too and I definately remember seeing a pattern with the picture! I just saw it over the weekend. Have to remember whose blogs I saw.

[Empress Busy Bee]

I keep looking in this tread because I want to see it. LOL

I know I've seen this recently myself. I'll keep checking. I thought it was a great idea for lifting lids off hot pots/skillets. You might want to check out this site, it doesn't have the chicken lid thingy but it does have some other chicken/hen items along with many other things.

Most of the pictures don't show up so you'll just have to make the items to see what's there. But there is a chicken and a hen potholder along with many things I haven't seen before.

Sounds like something from freepatterns.com ...do you have a membership there? Sorry I can't look right now... I'm swamped with website link checks at the moment.

[crochetdiva]

I saw it too on someone's blog last week...don't remember where. Sorry!

[Seneca and Scooch]

I've seen it! I'll look around for ya....
