More Details on how to crochet the Turkey Amigurumi

Sew the slanted eyebrows with a short dark brown yarn above the safety eyes. You may create other expressions by altering the angles of the slope.

Parts to be added to the head: head with eyes installed, beak and snood.

Sew the beak below the center of the eye-whites.

Followed by sewing the snood enfolded on the top of the beak as shown in the picture.

Crochet all the parts as per the pattern above and get ready for the final assembly.

Sew to join head to the body.

Then sew wings followed by the feet to the body.

Tutt the turkey amigurumi doesn’t feel happy without its beautiful tail attached.

Position the tail on the back of the body, pin.

Sew the bottom arc of the tail to the body.

Sew the rest of the arc of the tail to the body.

The tail is attached but Tutt still feels something missing on its head.

Hmmm… Perhaps Tutt wants some hair (or crest) on its head to make it looks better.

Cut some shorts strand of yellow yarn and tie them around the tip of the head.

Tutt is now happy that it has a beautiful tail and hair. Though the eyebrows expression doesn’t match its feeling, trust me Tutt is happy with how it looks. He is just a little worried about its mission in the market.

I am pretty pleased with how Tutt the turkey amigurumi has turned out to be.

Especially the full and fluffy tail that boosted Tutt’s self-confidence.
