Crochet in the Round

These fun little chickens have a lot to teach! Learn how to crochet in the round with this small, simple pattern, and you’ll also learn how to count stitches and follow printed instructions.

You may want to bring your own yarn in any color (‘chicken’ colors in solids, tweeds and speckled yarns look great!), or you can use yarns provided by the instructor.

This same basic shape is extremely versatile, and can also be used to make other animals, a pouch or basket.

Choose the starting time that works best for you – arrive any time between 2 and 4 pm – but do allow 2 hours for learning.

Class will be held on Thursday, August 13, 2026 from 2 – 6 pm.
