Free Pattern: Chica the Chicken

Thought I’d share a free pattern with you this week - first time in a while!

I have recently become obsessed with the game Five Nights At Freddy’s - it’s a horror game based on a family pizzeria called Freddy Fazbears Pizza, and is plagued by a team of possessed animatronic characters. 

Chibi Chica

One of the characters is Chica, the chicken. I was really inspired to make an amigurumi Chica whilst watching Let’s Play’s of the game, so came up with my own Chibi version of her. I thought it would be nice to share the pattern so other fans could make their own, so here it is :)

For this pattern you will need a 3.25mm hook, DK/Light WW/Sport yarn in yellow and orange. I also used 10mm safety eyes, black yarn for eyebrows, white felt and pink embroidery floss. For added spookiness I used black pastels to shade around her eyes.

Stitches needed:

Sc - Single Crochet
Inc - Sc Increase
Dec - Sc Decrease
Bob - Bobble Stitch - YO, insert hook in next st, YO, pull up a loop, (YO, insert hook in same st, YO, pull up a loop) 3 more times, YO, and draw through all loops on hook

I hope you enjoy the pattern!

Assembly
. Stuff Arms and sew to sides of the body
. Stiff Feet/Legs and sew to front/bottom of body
. Sew each beak piece closed, and sew to mouth. Try to curve the beak slightly whilst you are sewing  so the beak looks rounded :)
. Add hair, eyebrows and black pastels around the eyes, if desired

Chicas Bib

Chica’s Bib

In the Five Nights At Freddy’s games, Chica is wearing a bib that says ‘Let’s Eat!!!’ I made her bib from a scrap of white craft felt. I cut the bib and ties out from a rectangular piece, kind of like this…

Chicas Bib

I then embroidered the words onto the front with pink embroidery floss.

Sew the bib in place with some white sewing thread :)

You’re Done!!

I hope you enjoyed making your very own Chica! As with all my patterns, please feel free to share/sell anything you make, but please do not sell the pattern itself :)

Happy Crocheting! :D
