Back in the ‘70s my mother owned a craft store and I spent
summers between college semesters working there. I loved the job, learned all sorts of skills
and gained a lifetime of hobbies.
A few weeks ago I was going through some old binders looking
for a specific pattern. I didn’t find
the pattern but I came across a hand-scribbled pattern for knitted chickens
that fit over plastic Easter eggs. I
remember knitting some samples for the shop.
They were so cute!
I decided to knit some up and in the process changed the
pattern a bit. I decided to change the
first 6 rows of the pattern to look like a nest or basket that the hen is
sitting in. Then I decided to make a
smaller version in yellow for a chick.
It was a lot of fun and now I’m offering them to you. I don’t know the original source of the
pattern so I can’t credit it. I hope you have some fun with my revised
pattern for Easter Hens & Chicks.
