Henrietta & Peggy-Sue Choc Orange Cosy/Softie

£2.99

PLEASE NOTE This is a PDF Knitting Pattern

Henrietta my speckled hen and her sister Peggy-Sue are named after two of my pet Chickens from years ago. They were really good layers and very, very cheeky girls. Henrietta and Peggy-Sue are packed full of character and they each hide a chocolate orange inside their bellies beautifully. Or if you prefer you can buy a clear 7cm fillable bauble and stuff it full of sweets/candies, a lottery ticket or any small gifts you can think of to make them truly unique. They can be easily turned into softies by using the base pattern included in the pattern. They’re the perfect size for little hands to cuddle. Or would be ideal to sit on a shelf looking as cute as a button and very innocent of course!

They are knitted flat using 3mm straight needles and DK yarn. Chickens come in lots of different colours from Black to White and every colour in between. Have fun with them. The colours I used in this pattern are for guide purposes only.

I hope you’ll enjoy knitting them as much as I have.
