Easter hens

Row 1: we will cast on 3
chain stitches (ch) and in the third stitch from the hook, we will crochet 18 double crochets
(dc). Finish the row with a slip stitch (sl) and check that
there are exactly 18 double crochets.
Rows 2-4 are crocheted in
rounds with single crochets (sc) without increases, finish the row with a sl.

Row 5: evenly make 9 increases. 1sc over
each sc of the previous row, 2sc in 1sc of the previous row, and so on until the end of the row.

There should be 27 sc. At the end, sl.

Rows 6-7: 27 sc.

Row 8: 3 ch
for lifting and the row is crocheted with dc, evenly making 15 increases. There should be 42
dc.

Row 9: crochet 14
arches of 3 ch over the dc of the previous row.

Row 10: crochet 7
motifs - in the top of the first arch, crochet sc, in the second arch 5 double crochets with
two yarn overs (dc2tog).

Row 11: 7
repeats - in the motif of the previous row from the middle (third) stitch, crochet
sc, and in the sc of the previous row crochet 6 dc2tog.

In the indentation, there will be 6 dc2tog, and on the top of the motif, 1
sc. It looks like feathers.

Row 12: exactly
the same, 1 sc on the top of the motif of the previous row and 7 dc2tog over the sc of the previous
row.
Row 13: repeat the pattern of row 12.

Row 14: repeat the pattern of row 11.

Row 15: the same as rows 12 and 13.

Cut the yarn and hide it on the wrong side
of the work.

Comb: To do this, fold our piece in half and find the center of the head, to
evenly crochet the comb.

Attach the red yarn to the nape
of the head with sl where the comb begins and then 2 ch, sc, 3 ch, sc, 2
ch, sl, turn the work and crochet around the arches with sc.

Tail: Attach the yarn with sl to the body of the hen on the side
closer to the bottom and by making chains of ch, move up and to the middle of the bottom, and then
mirror on the other side.

Sl, (4 ch, sc) 6 repeats, the second tail
lower 4 repeats.

Pattern for the hen's tail:
under the arch of ch, crochet sc, 2 dc, dc, 2 dc, sc.

We crochet
the tail with yarn of a different color.

We proceed to
wings and again find the middle of the hen. Mentally, we imagine where we
will place the wings and join the main yarn to the body of the hen.

We crochet a chain of 8 ch and attach it directly to
the body with sl.

We make 4 arches on this chain (3 ch, sc).

In each arch
we crochet the motif sc, dc, 3 dc, dc, sc.

We crochet around like the tail.

The second wing is crocheted symmetrically.

Now we need a beak for
the hen: We mark the place for the beak and join the red
yarn to the head of the hen, crochet 3 ch and again join to the head almost
in the same place where we started.
Glue
the eyes or sew on small black beads.
