Hens „Berta and Gundel“ – Crochet Pattern

These cute, cheeky hens will put you in a good mood and make you smile. You can decorate your Easter bush, door wreath, window etc. with them. These funny chickens are also an eye-catcher as bag danglers or key rings. They are quick to crochet and you only need a few scraps of wool.

The body consists of 2 congruent parts, which are sewn together later. So that the beautiful side of the pattern can be seen on both sides of the hens, the front and back are worked mirror-inverted to each other. This means that the hens also look very pretty on a bush, as a window decoration, mobile etc., as there is no reverse side, so to speak.

The technique is a mixture of Tunisian and traditional crochet.
