Reversible Chicken and Egg Pattern in Craft!

I’m very excited to announce that I have a new pattern in the current issue of Craft magazine!

For their Play issue (which hit newsstands about a week ago), it’s a reversible chicken and egg!

The pattern is super-easy, and the issue is packed with lots of other fun play-related projects.

Thank you to Arwen at Craft—she was awesome to work with on this!

    Anna, I still love it. It makes me want to knit. Amazing, since I haven’t in over a year. Now I’ll have to buy the craft magazine and experiment. :)

    Yay for Anna being published in Craft! Great job, I’m so happy for you! I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy. Your chicken and egg remind me of a carrot/rabbit reversible toy I had when I was little but somehow lost. So cute!

    Well done, Anna! I’ve been trying to find the magazine since I saw this pattern on Ravelry. No luck! What will I do without a chicken and egg!? Frustrating.

    For people with no local source for Craft - you can buy single copies from the magazine’s website (craftzine.com). I decided to subscribe this year and I was so happy to get my first issue with a wonderful pattern in it.

    I was also able to order a back issue that I had missed getting on the newsstand. It didn’t take long at all for shipping.

    Just a thought, for those who can’t find it on a newsstand and who want a copy…

    Great - thanks for the tip, Fillyjonk!

    Ditto everybody. I’d get that issue of Craft (LOVE the mag), but I’d rather get all the patterns available here, first. Soon. . . (as I do my taxes).

    It’s like a profound metaphor about life, birth, renewal, Spring…. all wrapped up in a knitted chicken and egg. How cute!

  24. 24 Tracey

    Does anyone know if this mag is available in the UK? I SO wasnt to knit some of these!

  25. 25 Dorien

    I just picked up this issue this past weekend. I don’t think I even took the time to see that the pattern was yours though I thought it was your style. Congrats!

    Now to find some yarns (random colors from the stash attack!).

  33. 33 Rossella

    Won’t you put this pattern online in your shop?
    It’s so cute!!!

    p.s. I put the Tubby and Raincloud pics on my blog with a link to this site. I hope it’s ok for you.

    L-o-o-o-ve these cute little things! Would it be possible for us who can’t get the magazine to get this pattern too? We don’t have Craft in the stores in Finland…
