Hi! This is Toby the Turkey – your new lovable friend! I’m here to make you smile, and you can give me a hug whenever you need. I’m made of chenille yarn, which makes me super soft and squishy. I can also play with kids or serve as your seasonal decoration. Follow the step-by-step pattern from Crochet 365 Knit Too so I can fly off your hook this Thanksgiving!
What Supplies Do I Need to Crochet This Project?
This pattern calls for super bulky chenille yarn such as Premier Yarns Parfait Chunky. Be sure to choose brown, red, yellow, and orange colors to give this plushie an iconic turkey look. You will also need polyester fiberfill and a pair of 10 mm safety eyes. Work this project using a 5 mm crochet hook to ensure that the stuffing won’t show through the fabric.
Can I Crochet Toby the Turkey as A Beginner?
The designer describes it as a pattern suitable for intermediate crocheters. To make this project, you should be familiar with amigurumi techniques. This includes working stitches in rounds, increasing and decreasing, as well as changing colors and sewing different parts together. You will also use plush chenille yarn, which might be tricky to work with for total beginners.
How Big Is the Finished Crochet Turkey?
Your finished crochet turkey amigurumi is about 6” tall x 4.5” wide, excluding the tail. The back feather piece has a wingspan of about 6.75”. This size makes it great as both a huggable toy for children and a compact festive decoration that you can display anywhere in your house. Did I mention it would make a cute Thanksgiving gift idea?
