Project introduction
This is a pattern overview, not a full tutorial. Turkey Applique is a crochet design by Allyson Morse, published on Ravelry and listed under the Applique / Embellishment category. The listing describes it as circle-shaped, in-the-round, worked-flat and a written pattern with a phototutorial. The designer notes that basic knowledge of crochet skills is needed, so this is a friendly fit for crocheters who already know their core stitches.
The original listing states that the pattern is available as a free Ravelry download. That access fact applies to the Ravelry download itself; it does not tell us anything about other formats or copies elsewhere. For the actual instructions, count and assembly steps, head to the Original designer’s pattern and instructions on Ravelry, where the designer keeps the full written pattern and phototutorial together.
Turkey Applique
Allyson Morse publishes this design through her Ravelry store, and the listing credits her as the designer behind My Crazy Cat Crochet. The pattern page shows a small community footprint, with 6 projects and 8 queues at the time of the listing. The project attributes give a quick sense of the shape and approach: a circle-shaped piece worked in the round, with flat sections and a written pattern supported by photos.
Because the source page is a listing rather than the pattern itself, this overview sticks to what the designer shares publicly: the supplies, the working notes, the abbreviations and the usage terms. It does not reproduce the row-by-row instructions, and it does not guess at stitch counts or finished dimensions. Think of this page as a planning companion, and treat the Ravelry download as the authority for every stitch decision.
Supplies checklist
The listing gives a short, clear supply list. Gather these before you open the pattern so you can work without interruptions:
- Yarn in RED, ORANGE, YELLOW and BROWN
- A hook size to match your yarn weight (the designer used a size G hook)
- A stitch marker
- Poly-fil for stuffing
- Scissors
- A yarn needle
- Safety eyes (the designer used 10mm eyes)
The designer notes that she used I Love This Yarn in all colors, so that brand and those four shades are her sample choices rather than a requirement. Hook size and yarn weight are meant to match each other, and the size G hook is what she worked with. If you swap yarn, keep the pairing consistent and let the original pattern guide your gauge decisions.
Working notes and abbreviations
The listing states the pattern is worked in continuous rounds using US terms. The designer mentions the yarn over technique and notes that using a different method may throw stitches off. She also uses the invisible decrease technique. These are working preferences from the source, not extra steps invented here, so follow them as written in the download.
The abbreviation key covers mr (magic ring), ch (chain), sc (single crochet), dc (double crochet), hdc (half double crochet), picot, crab stitch, ss (slip stitch), inc (increase), dec (decrease), rpt (repeat), rnd (round), sk (skip) and F/O (fasten off). The listing notes that picot and crab stitch each have a link provided in the pattern.
Usage terms and where to find the pattern
The designer marks the pattern as for personal use only. It may not be reproduced, distributed, resold, translated, published, altered, shared or posted, whether for sale or free. Finished items may be sold, but the listing asks that credit go to Allyson Morse with @mycrazycatcrochet or #mycrazycatcrochet on Instagram. Those terms come straight from the source and are worth reading in full on the pattern page.
