What Is the Turkey Trot Make-Along and Why It’s Still Worth Making?
This outstanding crochet project was released in 2020 as a make-along mystery pattern. You will find it divided into 7 parts, called “clues”. The concept of mystery patterns is that crocheters don’t know what they are crocheting. They’re simply following the instructions shared weekly in small portions, and as they go with the pattern, they discover what the finished project will be.
Even though it’s no longer a secret that you’re gonna crochet a beautiful pocket shawl, it’s still a fun project to undertake. It’s up to you whether you decide to make a whole accessory at once or divide your work into parts.
What Yarn Should I Use?
This project will look great in medium-weight yarn. Here are some popular options you may want to try:
- Red Heart Soft (Heathers & Solids)
- Patons North America Classic Wool Worsted
- Red Heart With Love (Solids)
- Red Heart Chic Sheep by Marly Bird
Choose a neutral palette to make a versatile modern accessory, or go for a more vibrant shade to add extra flair. The pattern also calls for a 5.5 mm crochet hook.
How Difficult Is the Turkey Trot 2020 Shawl Pattern?
This pocket shawl crochet pattern requires an intermediate skill level and will suit every advanced crocheter. You will use some post stitches along with special techniques, including cables, linked double crochets, and stacked double crochets.
The Turkey Trot 2020 crochet scarf pattern is available in several sizes, so you can make a functional accessory that suits you best.
