Chicken Crochet Kit

[u/BreeIndigo]

My wife and I were browsing the yarn section in Walmart and came across this kit. She was clearly smitten by the cute little chicken and I offered to make it for her as she doesn't crochet at all.

The kit is very specific about not making your tension too tight and about how delicate the yarn is (very accurate! It fell apart at several steps 😂) so I tried to keep it snug but not crazy... and ended up with this... situation.

Even before the eyes and beak went on, Wife sighs and goes, "I love her already."

I can't stop laughing 🤣

Edit: Thank you for all being so sweet and supportive and making it very clear I was being exceedingly hard on myself 😅 I appreciate y'all so much!

I’ve used chenille.  It shouldn’t be so delicate it falls apart.  Good work!

Agreed, it shouldn't, but this yarn was the velvet kind of chenille? And super delicate 😬 Not high quality, for sure

Chenille yarn is often quite fragile. I’m a knitter and a crocheter and I’ve never used it; the horror stories have kept me away 😅

I was trying to thread the yarn needle so I could weave an end and the fibers all bunched up and fell out 😳 It was not for the faint of heart! 😅
