This is
Poppy the Chicken, that I knit. The free pattern called for super bulky weight yarn which I didn't have, so I used 2 worsted weight yarns that I held together while I knit. My first attempt turned out in a rather tall chicken because I didn't account for the fact that I was using thinner yarn and I knit to the 9" in height as directed. I realized that looked odd, so I ripped back a few inches and then followed the rest of the pattern so that she was a shorter chicken. My finished Poppy is about 6" tall x 6 1/2" wide at the widest. I added some weight in the bottom before I stuffed her, so she feels a little nicer and doesn't tip over.
I thought she might be fun to knit and if I liked her a lot then I would knit some more to use up some of my yarn. While I think Poppy is sweet and an easy knit, she is a one and done knit for me. I have no idea what to do with her. I used wool, so it would be too itchy to give to a child to cuddle.
