Materials You’ll Need for Your Crochet Chicken

Before you begin, gather your supplies. Having everything ready makes the process smooth.

Choosing the Right Yarn for Your Crochet Chicken Bookmark

For this crochet chicken bookmark pattern, I recommend cotton yarn. Cotton is durable and gives great stitch definition. Above all, it will hold its shape. I used Himalaya Himagrumi Cotton yarn. However, any DK weight cotton yarn will work. Choose white for the body. You will need red for the comb and beak. Also, you need Yellow for the feet.

Hook Size Guide for Amigurumi Crochet

A 2.20mm crochet hook is used in the video. This size creates tight stitches. Tight stitches are essential for amigurumi. However, adjust your hook size to match your yarn. If your stitches are loose. Go down a hook size, consequently, tightening them.

Other Essential Tools for this DIY Crochet Bookmark

Besides yarn and a hook, you’ll need a few other things. You will need scissors, of course. A yarn needle is needed. It is for weaving in ends. You can also use Small black beads, for example. Alternatively, safety eyes work well.
