This adorable nugget has been a favorite at my markets, and it’s easy to see why! Kids absolutely love these little guys, and they’re always so much fun to make.

Grab your favorite mustard-colored yarn, your crochet hook, and let’s make a little nugget of happiness! 🧶



🧶 Materials

Here’s what you’ll need to make your very own crochet Chicken Nugget!


Yarn

  • Premier Parfait Chunky Yarn (size 6) in Mustard

  • Black yarn or thread for embroidering the mouth (optional)

  • 5–6 mm crochet hook

Other Supplies

  • Two 12 mm safety eyes (optional)

Before You Begin

This is a beginner-friendly pattern, but here are a few helpful notes to keep in mind before you get started:

  • This pattern is worked from the top to the bottom.

  • The finished size is approximately 3 inches long, depending on your yarn and hook.

  • You can use any yarn weight you like! Just keep in mind that changing your yarn and hook size will affect the finished size.

  • This pattern is worked in continuous rounds unless otherwise specified.

  • Use a stitch marker to keep track of your rounds.

  • All stitches are worked through both loops unless otherwise stated.

  • I recommend using the invisible decrease technique to help prevent gaps in your stitches.

  • Stuff your nugget generously and evenly as you go to help it keep its shape.

  • This pattern uses US crochet terminology.

Rounds 2–4: SC around. [13]

Round 5: 4 SC, 4 INC, 5 SC. [17]
