These adorable French Hens are the perfect size to sit on a windowsill or, better yet, to fit lovingly into the small hands or pocket of a child. They have a fun, smooth, and slick construction with lovely results. This completely seamless design makes for a fun and fast knit. In fact. knitting the hens can be somewhat addicting. You may end up wanting to knit an entire brood!
