It was so cold here in Madmonkeyworld that I spent all winter designing beanie hat knitting patterns to keep everyone warm.

When my nephew Henry was just seven years old he asked Santa for some laying hens for Christmas. According to Henry, Santa in New Lanark was so shocked he almost fell off his sleigh. Henry had to wait a few months but he finally got his Christmas present and he called his three hens Rosemary, Sage and Thyme. Henrys hens started laying eggs immediately and Thyme became Henry’s favourite because she laid beautiful brown eggs with lovely orange yolks. Henry became very popular at school because he often gave his teachers and friends a box of his wonderful eggs.

Everything was fine for the first few years and the hens were completely free range and slept in a coup at night. But then the fox came! First he got Mr Pumper the rabbit and then Sage and then Rosemary. Henry was devastated and got his dad to immediately build a huge electric fenced enclosure to keep Thyme safe. A neighbour kindly gave Henry some brown hens to keep Thyme company and so keep her laying those fantastic eggs. Sadly Thyme died peacefully this summer of old age and Henry asked me to knit him a lifesize replica so that he would never forget her.

So I did and as a surprise I also made him a matching beanie hat to wear when collecting the eggs before school each morning.
Designing the hen proved to be more difficult than I imagined, I knew they had red bits but was not sure where exactly.
I went to my local butcher and asked to buy a chicken head. The butcher said “You won’t get much meat off of that love” and I said “That’s O.K. I’m not going to eat it I’m going to knit it!” The head turned out quite good so I then went on to design the body.

Henry had helped by sending me a very detailed diagram with all the relevant measurements, he also sent me some photos of his hens but I had trouble with working out the shape due to all the feathers.
I decided there was only one way to go so I went out and bought a chicken for our tea. Before roasting it I took all the elastic rings off and turned it upside down and positioned it in a standing position and this really helped with the design. Just don’t tell my husband what I did to it before serving him his dinner!
I designed the hen to stand free yet retain its delicate feet.
I designed a feather but realised single feathers would take forever so I made a row of feathers in ascending size and that worked very well with the tail.
