Toby, the Turkey - Amigurumi Crochet Pattern

Toby, a sweet little turkey, is about to celebrate his very first Thanksgiving.

He’s heard wonderful things about cozy family gatherings and all the delicious food – cornbread, sweet potatoes, pumpkin pie … Toby can hardly wait to try them all.

There’s just one tiny detail that has him a little worried: all those rumors about roast turkey.

Perhaps it would be safer if Toby spent Thanksgiving at your house. Give this little fellow a pardon, and he’ll happily join your fall celebrations year after year.

With this amigurumi crochet pattern, you can make Toby and his magnificent colorful tail feathers yourself. He makes a charming addition to your fall and Thanksgiving decor, a fun handmade gift, or simply a rather unusual little amigurumi friend to keep you company.

You should be familiar with:
chain stitches, slip stitches, single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet and treble crochet.

Skill level: intermediate. The pattern includes detailed step-by-step instructions, plenty of helpful photos and an additional crochet chart to guide you through making Toby’s beautiful tail feathers.

Using the suggested materials, Toby will be approximately 14 cm (5.5 in) tall.

Your finished turkey may turn out slightly larger or smaller depending on your yarn, hook size and individual crochet tension.

• yarn in light brown, dark brown, yellow, orange, red and green
• a crochet hook suitable for your yarn
• 1 pair of brown safety eyes
• stuffing - no, not the edible kind
• scissors
• a yarn needle for weaving in the ends

Feel free to have fun with the colors, especially when it comes to Toby’s fabulous tail. It’s also a lovely opportunity to put some of those colorful yarn scraps in your stash to good use.
