Start with beige yarn.

Change to white yarn, leaving the white thread in front of your work.

8. Rnd 10: Work in back loops only: 24 sc.
9. Rnd 11: Make 7 ch, then work along the chain starting from the second stitch from the hook: inc, 5 sc, then continue with 24 sc around, plus 6 sc along the side of the chain (37).
   • Place a marker; this will indicate the new round beginning.

11. Rnd 13: 1 sc, 3 dc (with one top in one stitch), 40 sc (42)

Return to the beige yarn and work in the front loops of the 9th round:

• Rnd 14: (4 ch, skip one stitch, 1 sc in the next stitch) – repeat to the end of the round, finishing with a slst. Cut off the thread and weave in.

Continue with the white part of the chicken.

Tighten the stitches with a needle, cut off the thread, and weave in.

2. Sew on the beak between rounds 5 and 6 in the middle.
3. Comb: Starting from the back to the beak, insert the hook under a stitch of the second round (closer to the back), attach orange thread, make 3 ch, work 1 sc under the next stitch (already in the first round), make 3 ch, then 1 sc under the next stitch of the first round, 2 ch, and 1 sc under a stitch of the second round. Cut off and secure the thread, then weave in.
4. Sew the wings onto the sides of the body, approximately between rounds 7-13 counting from the bottom.
