Recently I saw a beanie with the cutest little turkey applique! I just HAD to reproduce it simply because it was so stinking adorable.
Here's what I came up with and my pattern so you can make one of your own! These are great on hats (like pictured below), scarfs, gloves, purses, place mats, table runners, and pretty much anything you can think of to add it to!
Materials:
NOTES:
Round 2: Working in the round, make 2 sc in each stitch around. [16 sc]
Round 3: 1 sc in next stitch, 2 sc in next stitch around. [24 sc]
Tie off and weave in the end.
Round 2: 2 sc in each stitch around. [16 sc]
Round 3: 1 sc in next stitch, 2 sc in next stitch. Repeat. 1 sc in next stitch, sl st in next. Tie off and weave in the end.
Sew the eyes onto the head with thread and sewing needle. Best placement of the eyes would be under the stitches made in Round 3. Use the yarn needle to make a beak with the orange yarn.
Attach the head to the body with beige yarn.
Make the bow tie with the Decorative Trim by tying a bow and glue it onto the Turkey under the head where the "chin" would be.
Lay to the side and allow the glue to dry.
Attach the feathers to the back of the Turkey with E-6000 craft glue.
Lay aside and allow the project to dry completely. Approximately 3 hours.
Now you have a cute little Turkey applique for the Thanksgiving season!
Enjoy!
Peace and blessings,
