If you love adding a little handmade charm to your kitchen, this adorable chicken potholder is going to make you smile every single time you reach for it! I stumbled across a version of this little guy on Pinterest and just knew I had to track down a free pattern for all of you. After some searching, I found the “Crocheted Chicken Welcome” design by Jocelyn Sass — just skip the “Welcome” part and add a simple shell stitch around the upper body to get that adorable finished look. If you loved our other crochet chicken potholder video tutorial, I have a feeling this one is going to win a special spot in your kitchen too!

Adorable Little Chicken Potholder Pattern
I found this gem on Pinterest…just one problem, the maker is on Etsy and sells the pattern. There is a discontinued pattern for this but it sells for over $100 on Ebay. I know Chickens are HOT right now — so after a lot of searching, I found a pattern HERE. Just skip the “Welcome” part and, when attaching the two forms, add a shell stitch around the upper body, so it will look like the picture above, which is so much cuter. ( Source)
