1. HEAD + BODY

Work continuously in rounds.

Head

Round 1: MR, 6 sc — 6
Round 2: inc around — 12
Round 3: (sc, inc) × 6 — 18
Round 4: (2 sc, inc) × 6 — 24
Round 5: (3 sc, inc) × 6 — 30
Round 6–10: sc around — 30
Round 11: (4 sc, inc) × 6 — 36
Round 12–17: sc around — 36

Insert safety eyes between approximately Rounds 11–13, leaving about 8–10 stitches between them.

Begin shaping the lower head/neck:

Round 18: (4 sc, dec) × 6 — 30
Round 19: (3 sc, dec) × 6 — 24
Round 20: sc around — 24

Do not close the piece.

Body

Continue directly from the head.

Round 21: (3 sc, inc) × 6 — 30
Round 22: (4 sc, inc) × 6 — 36
Round 23: (5 sc, inc) × 6 — 42
Round 24–32: sc around — 42

Start making the body more rounded

Round 33: (5 sc, dec) × 6 — 36
Round 34: (4 sc, dec) × 6 — 30
Round 35: (3 sc, dec) × 6 — 24

Stuff firmly.

Round 36: (2 sc, dec) × 6 — 18
Round 37: (sc, dec) × 6 — 12
Round 38: dec × 6 — 6

FO and close the opening.

💡 Tip: Keep the lower body slightly wider than the head. The photograph has a plump, almost egg-shaped body.

2. BEAK 🟡

Use golden-yellow yarn.

Round 1: MR, 6 sc — 6
Round 2: (sc, inc) × 3 — 9
Round 3: sc around — 9
Round 4: (sc, dec) × 3 — 6

Stuff very lightly.

Flatten the opening and sew the beak onto the front of the face.

For the pointed appearance, sew the two sides together toward the tip.

3. RED COMB ❤️

The comb is made from several rounded points.

Use red yarn.

Make 5 small scalloped lobes.

For each lobe:

Row 1: ch 4
Row 2: starting in 2nd ch: sc, hdc, 3 dc in last chain

FO.

Make lobes in different sizes:

1 small
3 medium
1 large

Sew the five pieces together along their bottom edges.

Then attach the completed comb along the top of the head.

For a more 3D look, lightly stuff each lobe before sewing.

4. WATTLES ❤️

Make 2 identical pieces.

Red yarn:

Round 1: MR, 6 sc — 6
Round 2: inc around — 12
Round 3: sc around — 12
Round 4: (sc, dec) × 4 — 8
Round 5: dec × 4 — 4

FO.

Don’t stuff heavily.

Sew the two wattles underneath the beak, hanging vertically.

5. NECK FRINGE / FEATHER COLLAR 🟡

This creates the fluffy golden-yellow collar visible in the photograph.

Use golden-yellow yarn.

Attach yarn around the lower neck.

For each fringe:

ch 8–12, then sl st back into the same attachment point.

Repeat around the entire neck.

Make approximately 30–40 strands.

For a fuller appearance, cut many 8–12 cm pieces of yarn and attach them using a lark’s-head knot.

Trim unevenly to create a shaggy feather collar.

6. WINGS — MAKE 2 🪽

Start with white yarn.

Round 1: MR, 6 sc
Round 2: inc around — 12
Round 3: (sc, inc) × 6 — 18
Round 4: (2 sc, inc) × 6 — 24
Round 5–7: sc around — 24
Round 8: (2 sc, dec) × 6 — 18
Round 9: sc around — 18
Round 10: (sc, dec) × 6 — 12

FO.

Flatten slightly.

Sew the wings onto both sides of the body.

7. BLUE + GREEN WING FEATHERS

This is what gives the rooster its colorful layered appearance.

Make individual feather shapes.

For each feather:

ch 9

Starting in second chain:

sl st, sc, hdc, dc, dc, hdc, sc, sl st

FO.

Make approximately:

6 dark-blue feathers
5 medium-blue feathers
5 green feathers

Layer them over each wing.

Sew only the upper section of each feather so the lower portion remains slightly raised.

Arrange them from small feathers near the top → larger feathers toward the bottom.

8. TAIL FEATHERS 🌈

This is the most important part for matching your picture.

Use:

Red
Pink
Purple
Dark blue
Blue
Green

Make approximately 18–24 long feathers.

Basic feather

ch 25–35

Starting in second chain:

sl st
sc
hdc
dc repeatedly toward the end
3 dc in final chain

Continue down the opposite side of the chain with:

dc
hdc
sc
sl st

FO.

The resulting piece should look like a long curved feather.

Feather sizes

Make:

Small: 20–24 chains
Medium: 26–30 chains
Large: 32–38 chains

Create a mixture of all three sizes.

Tail arrangement

Attach the feathers to the rear of the body in layers:

Bottom layer

Green
Blue
Dark blue

Middle layer

Purple
Pink
Blue

Top layer

Red
Pink
Purple

Curve each feather outward.

For the dramatic rooster-tail shape in your image, position the longest feathers at the outside edges and slightly shorter feathers toward the center.

9. TAIL SUPPORT

For a very large upright tail, insert a piece of pipe cleaner or floral wire inside each long feather before sewing it to the body.

Do not leave sharp wire ends exposed.

Alternatively, sew the feathers onto a small crocheted semicircular base and attach the base firmly to the rooster’s back.

10. LEGS 🟡

Use golden-yellow yarn.

Make 2.

Leg

Round 1: MR, 6 sc
Round 2–12: sc around — 6

FO.

Stuff very lightly.

Sew the legs underneath the body.
