Gobble Gobble!! A free crochet pattern for a toddler turkey hat can put a smile on any ones face! I thought about how I would put this hat together for weeks and I am so pleased with how it turned out. I was thinking about making turkey legs with feet instead of the braids… but if you haven’t noticed, I really like the braids. Haha! I hope you love this yarntastic pattern as much as I do!

Feather/Leafs/Hair



Leaving a long tail, CH 11, SC into 2nd CH from hook. SC into next CH , HDC into next 2 chains, DC into next 3 chains, HDC into next 2 chains, SC into last CH, CH 2, SC into same stitch, (now work back down the opposite side of the CH while weaving in your tail. So both tails will be on the same end of the feather) HDC into next 2 CH, DC into next 3 chains, HDC into next 2 chains, SC into last two chains, join to first SC. You should have two tails now at the bottom of the feather.

Repeat to make 12 feathers of assorted colors

Wattle

CH 12, SC into second CH from hook. SC into next 2 CH. HDC into next CH, DC into next 2 chains, HDC into next CH, SC into next 3 chains, 3 HDC into last CH, (turn going down the other side of chain) HDC into next CH, DC into next 3 chains, HDC into next CH, SC into next two chains, Slip stitch into next 3 stitches, join into first SC.

Eyes

Magic Circle, CH 3, DC 9 times into magic circle. Join to top of CH 3. CH 2, HDC into same stitch, 2 HDC into each stitch around. Join to top of CH 2.

Finish off and repeat for other eye



This is what your work space should look like right now.

Do not panic… like I did. BAHAHA it doesn’t take very long to get it together as it would look.

First, attach the eyes and the beak with your yarn needle.



Next, add the wattle and the buttons!



Remember how I had you make your tails with the feathers? Stack each feather and make one tail of the feathers

grouped to the left, and the other tail of each feather grouped to the right.



Now you will be pulling the right half of the tails through the the top of the hat, just right of the magic circle.

Then you will pull the other half of the tails through the left side.



This is what it should look like now. Next, I just tied them together into a knot, and cut the ends.

Be sure to have the strings pulled completely through before tying.



For the braids, I attached 5 strands of each color into the 3 last SC at the end of the earflaps.

Folded stands make 10 strands of each color. Braid! Repeat for other earflap.
