Section 2: Turkey Feathers
- Using color B (and changing to colors C and D in subsequent rows), crochet the feathers in rows directly onto the crown, working in the BLO for the first row and creating shell stitches.
- Once the feathers are completed, finish off the edges with a sc edge in color A.
For Section 3: Body of the Hat
- For the beanie, crochet around excluding the feather section, working in hdc and xdc stitches, and add a brim with FPdc/BPdc for a snug fit.
- For the bonnet, work back and forth, leaving out the last couple of stitches, and finish with a brim and a tie using chains and sc.
Section 4: Facial Details
- Create the eyes, beak, and wattle with smaller pieces in contrasting yarn colors.
- Sew these pieces onto the hat to give your turkey character and charm.
The result is a festive and fun turkey hat that will undoubtedly be the highlight of your Thanksgiving celebrations!
