Minerva Louise




I named my chicken Minerva after this book which I loved as a child. Minerva was knit up for a work activity last Easter... something to do with team building and making an Easter display with each other... it was really lame. Anyway, my team was already pretty built (we worked out) so our "display" was quite outrageous... including a scarecrow and a wire bunny... but that's a different blog. The pattern is free, fun and so easy you could make twenty. Minerva is made from this pattern for an egg cozy, great for hiding Easter goodies or just sitting pretty under the Christmas tree. Jen C. also knit a chicken and the two of them lived on our desks for months and months. Now, I know you're probably thinking, "That is not a hen, that is a rooster!" You may be correct, however my chicken is made of yarn and I have therefore decided to stick with Minerva, the hen (with a red mohawk).

You should make one, it's Easter!
