Crochet Turkey Wallhanging: Pattern Overview

Turkey Crochet Wall Hanging Pattern Overview

This overview introduces a seasonal wall decoration made with seven yarn-covered gasket rings, a hanging strip, and three turkey appliqués. The design is by Crochet 365 Knit Too. Find the complete directions and photo guidance in the designer’s pattern and instructions.

The sample pairs orange rings with a variegated feather layer and a blue-gray turkey body. The rings provide the hanging’s base, while the strip threads through them and carries the three bird motifs. Because the project has several components and a weaving stage, reviewing the construction before collecting supplies can help you plan your work.

Materials

The listed hook is a US H/5.0 mm. The sample uses worsted-weight yarn from Hobby Lobby I Love This Yarn and Yarn Bee Soft & Sleek. Color names and amounts below refer to that sample, not a universal yarn requirement.

• 1 oz dark orange, Terra Cotta in the sample.
• 1 1/4 oz medium orange, Burnt Pumpkin in the sample.
• 1 oz variegated, Cinnamon Cedar in the sample.
• 1 oz gold, Mustard in the sample.
• 1/2 oz gray-blue, Viridescent in the sample.
• Seven silicone wide-mouth canning jar gasket rings. The source specifies wide-mouth rings for jars with wide openings, not regular-opening rings. Their outside dimensions are 3.5 inches across by 3.5 inches high.
• Small round shank buttons for the eyes, or black yarn for embroidered eyes, plus a tapestry needle and scissors.

The designer links to a recommended crochet hook and scissors. If a gasket has a tab, trim it off so the support forms a continuous ring.

Gauge

Gauge is not important for this project. The hook size is listed, but the source does not give a gauge target to match. For stitch help, the designer provides crochet abbreviations, a US to UK crochet conversion chart, and a tutorial menu. Its Getting Started material covers basic stitches such as slip stitch, single crochet, double crochet, and chain stitch. The Crochet Stitch Dictionary offers additional stitch tutorials.

Crochet Abbreviations

The instructions use US crochet terms. In the pattern, ch means chain, dc means double crochet, tr means treble crochet, sc means single crochet, sl st means slip stitch, and st means stitch or stitches. Checking the terminology is useful when comparing instructions written with UK terms.

Finished Crochet Turkey Wallhanging Size

The complete wall hanging measures approximately 25 inches from the top of the hanging loop to the bottom of the tassel. This measurement includes both endpoints. Remove any tabs from the gaskets before crocheting around them, so each support is a ring.

Crocheted Rings (Make 7)

Make seven covered gasket rings. In the pictured color arrangement, four are dark orange and three are medium orange, with gold edging. The designer’s construction covers each physical ring with crochet, so the source directions are the reference for the stitch placement and finishing. The alternating orange shades make the ring stack part of the finished decoration as well as its support.

Hanging Strip

The medium-orange strip is worked from a starting chain along both sides, with a loop formed at its upper end. A yarn tassel finishes the lower end. The strip functions as both hanger and woven connector through the stack of rings, making its position important to the overall layout.

The source provides the chain and stitch details, along with the loop and tassel finishing. Use those directions for the construction rather than estimating the strip’s shape from this description. The listed tassel strands are approximately 10 inches long before they are attached and trimmed.

Crochet Turkey Applique

Each turkey is made from separate crocheted components, but not every component is made separately and joined later. The feather base is worked first, and the gold feet are crocheted directly onto its lower edge. The body and beak are worked as separate pieces, then sewn onto the motif; the eyes are buttons or embroidered black yarn.

There are three turkey motifs in the wall hanging. The following sections describe the role of each piece without replacing the designer’s stitch directions.

Crochet Turkey Feather Layer (Make 3)

Make three feather layers in variegated yarn. Each begins with a circular base worked in a magic ring, then develops into two turned rows of chain loops that create the feathered outline. The source specifies a long tail at the end for joining the body. Its round totals are consistent: in Round 3, the initial double-crochet motif appears once, and “repeat from” that point four more times, giving five motifs altogether. Together with the beginning and ending stitches, that sequence gives the stated total of 19 stitches.

Turkey Feet

The feet use gold yarn and are worked onto the feather base, with the bird’s bottom turned to the top for this part. Each foot has three chain-loop toes. The source includes placement references for joining the yarn and working the feet area, so consult its directions for the precise location and finishing rather than estimating from this summary.

Turkey Body

The body is made with blue-gray yarn. It begins as a circle worked in a magic ring, and the next round forms the head by grouping several stitches in one stitch. The finished body is sewn to the feather layer. The designer’s directions give the stitch sequence for the body and head.

Turkey Beak

The beak is a small orange chain-based piece that is fastened off after its stitches are worked. Its warm color complements the orange ring stack. The source directions show how the beak is made and where it is attached to the head.

Turkey Appliqué Finishing

For each turkey, sew the beak and button eyes to the head, then sew the body to the feathers. Black yarn can be used to embroider eyes instead of using buttons. Keep the feet in mind as part of the feather base when handling the completed motif.

Crochet Turkey Wallhanging Assembly

Assembly brings together the covered rings, the hanging strip, and the three turkey motifs. Weave the strip over and under the rings, then tack it with yarn at the top and bottom and wherever else is needed to keep it in place. Arrange the turkeys along the strip and sew them down. The designer’s photo sequence is especially useful for seeing how the strip travels through the stack.

Detailed Tutorial for Weaving Strap Between Rings

The rings are stacked one over another, starting with a dark orange ring, alternating colors, and finishing with a dark orange ring. The strip follows an over-and-under path as each ring is added. Begin with the strip beneath the first ring, with the loop behind and above it. As the next ring is placed over the previous one, bring the strip around the rings; continue that path as the remaining rings are stacked.

The strap can be adjusted after weaving. Check that it does not pull or pucker, and even out the top loop and bottom of the strip. The source also recommends tacking the strip at the top and bottom, adding the tassel, and attaching the turkey appliqués.
