Chicken - Free Pattern
Chickens are a lovable farm staple! A farm never looks complete unless there's at least a few chickens running around. And they have so much personality, too! If you don't have your own real chickens, this will make a great substitute. Looking to increase the size of your flock? Check out my reversible egg/chick pattern here!
