Nothing says “Thanksgiving” quite like a warm and inviting handmade decoration. Sarah Zimmerman’s Turkey Wreath crochet pattern is a great project for the season that will bring a small amount of that festive charm into your celebrations. Whether decking your front door or part of indoor decor, this wreath is sure to catch the eye and spark conversations!
Supplies for Your Turkey Wreath
To start making this lovely Thanksgiving wreath, you need to gather all the right materials. The wreath is made on a 10-inch base of styrofoam and a 4 mm crochet hook to achieve the perfect stitch size.
Choose fall-colored yarn such as Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice or any other aran yarn you like. Other necessary supplies include two small safety eyes and some polyfill stuffing for the turkey.
Turkey Wreath Step-by-Step Guide
Start working this crochet wreath pattern by crocheting a long rectangle to cover the styrofoam wreath form. This is done with single crochet stitches worked back and forth in rows. To start, make a foundational chain and then single crochet in every next row until the rectangle fits snugly around the wreath form.
Next, make the turkey’s head and feathers. The head is done using basic amigurumi techniques, working in rounds with the magic ring and a bit of shaping.
How to Display Your Turkey Wreath
Hang your finished Turkey Wreath on your front door to greet visitors with a festive note, or use it inside on a wall. For a creative twist, consider placing it flat on a table with candles, pumpkins, and autumn leaves surrounding it to create an eye-catching centerpiece.
