Free crochet turkey pattern: a Turkey in a Pilgrim Hat amigurumi, about 11 cm tall in DK yarn with a 2.5 mm hook. A chubby brown turkey with a tan tummy, pink cheeks and a rainbow fan of red, orange and yellow tail feathers wears a tall black pilgrim hat with a dark grey band and a gold buckle. You need about 85 m of yarn: 30 m brown, 10 m black, 5 m dark brown, 5 m tan, 5 m red, 5 m light orange, 5 m gold, 5 m orange, 5 m yellow, 5 m dark grey and 5 m pink. Plan on roughly 3 hours. It makes a cheerful Thanksgiving table decoration or a gift for a friend who loves autumn crafts. You can spin the 3D model and follow the round-by-round pattern on the page.

How to crochet the Turkey in a Pilgrim Hat

Intermediate · 11 cm tall · about 3 h · DK yarn · 2.5 mm hook

  1. Crochet the 19 pieces in rounds: Body, Red feather ×3, Orange feather ×2, Yellow feather ×2, Beak, Wattle, Wing ×2, Foot ×2, Belly patch, Cheek ×2, Hat brim, Hat crown (72 rounds in all).
  2. Stuff and put it together in 15 steps; each one lights up where it goes on the 3D model.
  3. Add the face: safety eyes by round and stitch, or embroider them for a child under 3.

  1. Of these: mid — 1; side — 2 (left and right). Flat motif — petal (rounded petal, worked in rounds, one layer of fabric), about 5.9 × 1.9 cm; 1 row.
  2. Fasten off leaving a long tail (~30 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff. Weave in the starting tail, pin the motif out to shape on a soft surface and steam it lightly.

  1. A flat oval about 5.7 × 3.7 cm; 5 rounds. Worked around a chain, so it is an oval: sew it on with its long side (along the chain) running side to side. The round-start marker is in the middle of a long side (the piece's centre line), while R1 starts at a turn: after R1 shift the round start — sc 2 more (not counted in any round) and place the marker there. The increases fall on the turns.
  2. With tan: ch 7.
  3. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff.

  1. A flat circle about 1.5 cm across; 2 rounds.
  2. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff.

  1. A flat circle about 5.3 cm across; 7 rounds.
  2. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff.

  1. Size before assembly: about 3.8 cm at the widest, 2.9 cm long; 10 rounds.
  2. Change to dark grey (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R8).
  3. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff lightly just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done.

Safety eyes and noses go in before the piece is stuffed and closed (see the pieces above); embroidery is easier before the piece is sewn on.

  • Safety eyes with a printed glint 13 mm (on the body): in round 19, 8 st apart (count along round 19: about 3.9 st each side of the centre front line).
