Free Pattern: Rooster Farm Animal

**NOTE: You can find an ad-free, beautifully formatted and concise version of this pattern available in my shop HERE. Supporting my website in this way ensures that I’ll be able to release many more free patterns in the future! :)

Hello! Today I'm happy to bring you the second addition to my mini farm animal series! This one is Cooper the Rooster! Some of you might be familiar with Cooper already as he was part of my 100 amigurumi countdown a couple years back AND he was also the first pattern I ever released! Now, since he's part of the farm animal series, I've decided to give his pattern away for free!

So meet Cooper, the cutest (and certainly the most huggable), rooster in the coop! Cooper is a little bit shy, but in spite of that, he still loves to spend time with his friends. (That means YOU!)

Storyland Amis, Free Amigurumi Crochet Pattern, Rooster

Dimensions: 4 in. (10 cm.) tall

Difficulty: Easy! This pattern is perfect for beginners.

Materials:

Size F (3.75mm) crochet hook (I use Clover Amour HERE)

Worsted weight (4 ply) yarn in yellow, black, orange, red, and kelly green (I used Hobby Lobby’s brand, “I Love This Yarn” in "Yellow", “Black”, “Red”, "Orange", and "Jelly Bean". )

7.5mm (you can purchase them HERE)

Polyfil (or your stuffing or choice)

Tapestry/yarn needle

Stitch marker (I highly recommend these HERE)

The Pattern

Head (using gold yarn)

R1: Ch 2, 6 sc in 2nd ch from hook (you can use the magic circle if you prefer as it won’t make a difference in the end.)

R3: *Sc 1, inc 1* rep 6 times (18 sts)

R4: *Sc 2, inc 1* rep 6 times (24 sts)

R13: *Sc 2, dec 1* rep 6 times (18 sts)

R14: *Sc 1, dec 1* rep 6 times (12 sts)

Stop and begin stuffing

R15: *Dec 1* rep 6 times (6 sts)

Finish off. Finish stuffing head firmly and use tail to sew up hole then weave in your end.

Beak (using orange yarn)

R1: Ch 2, 4 sc in 2nd ch from hook

R2: 1 sc in each sc around (4 sts)

Finish off leaving long tail for sewing. Sew the beak on right between the eyes.

Comb (using red yarn)

Loosley ch 10, starting in 2nd ch from hook, sc 1, *3 dc in next ch, sl st 1* rep 3 times, 3 dc in next ch, sc 1 in last ch

Finish off leaving long tail for sewing. Sew the comb on top of head. The front of the comb should be sewn onto R5 of head and stretch back to R5 of head (see pic. #2). When there’s more than one yarn tail on any given piece, usually when you’re working in rows, I like to weave both ends into the body or head. That way there aren’t any ends popping out or fraying like they do when you just cut them.

Large wattle (using red yarn)

Ch 3, starting in 2nd ch from hook, sl st 1, sl st in last ch

Finish off leaving long tail for sewing. Sew the wattle underneath the beak, slightly toward the right side (when facing you).

Small wattle (using red yarn)

Ch 2, starting in 2nd ch from hook, sl st 1

Finish off leaving long tail for sewing. Sew this small wattle right next to the large one.

R2: * Inc 1* rep 5 times (10 sts)

R3: *Sc 1, inc 1* rep 5 times (15 sts)

R4-6: 1 sc in each sc around (3 rounds total)

Switch to gold yarn

R7: 1 sc in each sc around (15 sts)

R8: *Sc 1, dec 1* rep 5 times (10 sts)

Finish off leaving long tail for sewing. Stuff firmly and sew it to the head using the long tail we left and your tapestry needle.

Wings (Make 2 using gold yarn)

Ch 2, 6 sc in 2nd ch from hook

Don’t sl st into the first sc to finish off, instead just ch 1. This way we’ll have a flat edge for sewing. Sew the wings on either side of the body, directly under head, that would be R8 of body..

Legs (Make 2 using orange yarn)

Leave a long starting tail for his right leg as you’ll need this later to sew his leg on.

Ch 4, starting in 2nd ch from hook, sl st 1, sl st in each of remaining 2 chs

Finish off leaving long tail for sewing. Sew legs onto R3 & 4 of body then bring your yarn to the top back of leg and sew down one or two stitches of the leg to R4 of body.

Tail feathers (using green yarn)

*Ch 5, starting in 2nd ch from hook, sl st1, sl st in each of remaining 3 chs* rep 4 times. When you’re done you should have 4 tail feathers. Refer to pic. #6 if you’re having trouble figuring this out.

Finish off leaving long tail for sewing. Sew the tail feathers to the back of the body on R3.

And you’re done! I hope you had fun making him! Please share pictures of your project with me through Instagram, Facebook, or email (hello@storylandamis.com). I love seeing what you create!
