Amigurumi Thanksgiving Turkey with Chicks

Detailed Recipe

Materials Needed:

• Yarn in beige, orange, yellow, pink, purple, blue, green, and brown
• Black safety eyes (8-10 mm for turkey, 6 mm for chicks)
• Fiberfill stuffing
• Crochet hook (2.5 mm or size appropriate for yarn)
• Yarn needle
• Small amount of pink blush (optional, for cheeks)

Instructions:

1. Turkey Body (Beige Yarn):
   • Round 1: Start with a magic ring, make 6 single crochets into the ring.
   • Round 2: Increase in each stitch around (12 stitches).
   • Round 3: 1 single crochet, increase repeat around (18 stitches).
   • Continue increasing until you reach approximately 48 stitches, then crochet evenly to create the body.
   • Stuff firmly and close, leaving a small opening at the bottom for attaching to the tail.
2. Turkey Feathers (Multiple Colors):
   • For each feather, create a chain of 12 stitches.
   • Work single crochets back down the chain, increasing in the middle.
   • Alternate colors for each feather and make around 8-10 feathers in total.
   • Attach feathers to the back of the turkey body in a fan shape.
3. Turkey Head and Beak:
   • Follow the body pattern for the head but make it slightly smaller.
   • Crochet a small triangle for the beak using orange yarn.
   • Attach safety eyes, add pink blush to cheeks (optional), and attach the beak.
4. Chicks (Beige Yarn):
   • Start with a small magic ring, increasing to make a ball shape.
   • Use smaller safety eyes for the chicks, and add minimal stuffing.
   • Attach a tiny beak for each chick.
5. Assembly:
   • Attach the head to the body of the turkey.
   • Sew each chick around the turkey, forming a cozy little family.
   • Add any extra details, like a small pink bow for the turkey or fluffy yarn for chick accents.
6. Finishing Touches:
   • Use yarn or embroidery floss to add any other facial details.
   • Ensure all loose ends are woven in and secure.
