This pattern is written in US crochet terms.

You will need:

I suggest for the body and wings you use a chunky or worsted weight yarn with a size 4 crochet hook.
For the rest of the pieces you will need DK or light worsted weight yarn and a size 3. 5 hook in red and yellow.
You will also need safety eyes 10mm in Black and some cloth and beaded stuffing for the bean bag.
The Cluck Clutch is very simple to make. I will move through the pattern using lots of drawings so you can
make the clutch any size you like.
Essentially you are making a large bowl with some modifications.

The Base: (Main Chicken Colour)

Single crochet in the round.
Rnd 1: 6 sc (using an adjustable circle or magic loop – if you find it easier just chain 3 join with a
slip stitch and crochet 6 stitches into the loop. View from
Rnd 2: 2 sc in each sc around (12 sc) underneath
Rnd 3: sc in next sc, 2 sc in next sc around (18 sc)

Rnd 8: sc in each of next 6 sc, 2 sc in next sc around (48 sc)

Now continue on to The Bowl

For the first round just crochet into one of the arms of each stitch to make a distinction between
The Base and The Bowl – This is an optional step so leave it our if you prefer

Step 1 Step 2

•Turn wrong side around
•Push flat into a half circle shape
•Place comb inside chicken along one corner
of the body
•Sew across corner so comb is in place
•Turn right way round
•Affix eyes and beak
•Add wattle by crocheting two 10 chained
loops directly into the body.
•Sew Wings onto one side of body firmly
•Sew up the open ends by the head and tail – leaving
space under the wings for the bag to open.
• Sew on button to the outside of the other side of
the body Bean Bag Base:
•Add a loop to hold the button down.
To make a nice stable base for your chicken cut out two
pieces of fabric about 10cm in diameter and sew together –
stuff with beads to give a weighting effect, tuck this in the
base of your chicken and it will give it a nice round shape
and prove a comfy cushion for your bits!

All Done!!! Congrats!!!
