DIY Crocheted Turkey Hat

It's October.

Which means it's almost November.

Which means that I've already started Christmas gifts... awhile ago actually.  

But before I start sharing all of that with you,

I thought I would share this crocheted turkey hat for Thanksgiving.

 

I got an order for a Thanksgiving baby hat, and I just had to make one of these guys.

You've probably seen them around, especially if you're a Pinterester.

 

Yarn:

Lion Brand Wool-Ease in Cocoa and Fisherman.

 

Hook:

Crochet Hook I/9- 5.50 mm

 

I used this pattern for the drumsticks.

 

Side note: she has some pretty cute patterns for crocheted toy food it you're a fan of that. I am personally more into felt food, but different strokes. :)

 

Your turkey leg should look a little something like this.

I did change the pattern just a hair, though.

At Row 14, I changed from my Cocoa yarn to the Fisherman.

Row 14: BPSC (back post single crochet) i,n every other SC around. *This will help separate your "meat" from your "bones".

Row 15: SC in each stitch around.

Row 16: 2 SC in each st around.

Row 17: decrease around in spirals until you have 1 stitch left. Bind off and hid your ends.

 

*don't forgot to stuff and shape as you go.

 

 

After I made two drumsticks, I made a simple baby hat, and then attached my turkey's drumsticks to the sides with a yarn needle.

 

Simple simple.

Happy Way Way Early Thanksgiving!
