Looking for a cute way to combine your love of reading with your crochet amigurumi obsession? We’ve got you! Our Mini Chicken Bookmark pattern has two options: Chicken and Egg and Chicken and Heart (perfect for Easter and Valentine’s Day). You can easily play around with the colours of the pattern to match your books or your style. Get out your yarn scraps, and let’s see those chickens.

This crochet amigurumi pattern is written for beginners and neurodiverse crafters. The abbreviated instructions are followed by a breakdown in italics making it easier to understand what you need to do in each round. If you’ve had trouble reading patterns in the past, we hope that you’ll give our patterns a try!

One of the best things about this pattern is that it only uses a small amount of yarn. Just remember that the hook size will depend on your yarn thickness and tension. Using DK weight acrylic yarn and a 2mm hook, our Mini Chicken Bookmark (Chicken and Egg version) is approximately 4cm across. The size will vary depending on yarn, hook, and tension.
