1. Turkey Coaster
Who doesn’t love a beautiful coaster? Even better if they have a fun shape.
These turkey coasters are the perfect leftover yarn Thanksgiving project.
You get an awesome decoration out of it while downsizing your yarn stash.
If you don’t have traditional Thanksgiving colors, don’t worry. You can still follow the pattern to make different types of birds.
Use blue, green, and purple and you’ve made a peacock. How awesome is that?
2. Gobble Coaster
I love this coaster because it is really cute and beginner friendly.
I like how the main part of the coaster lays very flat so you can confidently set your cup on it.
Thanksgiving comes with a lot of cooking, so you’ll need something to set your pots on too. You can increase the number of rows you crochet to make a supersized version of the coaster.
This way you end up with an adorable potholder.
3. Turkey Applique
This jumbo turkey uses super fluffy velvet yarn is an amazing oversized centerpiece for your dining table!
I love his chubby body and adorable feet, and you can arrange his tailfeathers to be any colors of yarn you like.
I used just 2 balls of Chenille Home (a brand by Michael’s) for the body, and some scrap yarn for the rest of the turkey.

November is the season of hot drinks. Winter is approaching, the weather is cooling. The best way to warm yourself up is by ordering a hot beverage.
However, sometimes the cup burns your hands, which is where mug wraps come in for the rescue.

If you’d like something to use all year round, you can modify the pattern and make an owl out of it.
