1. Jumbo Plush Crochet Turkey
Let’s start with some amigurumi turkeys, which are perfect for cozy cuddling or for displaying around your home. Before you make any amigurumi, you’ll want to have all the supplies you need: yarn, stuffing, safety eyes, etc.
This jumbo turkey is particularly cute and cuddly, especially when made with a jumbo chenille yarn like Loops & Threads Chenille Home or Sweet Snuggles. The pattern only calls for easy stitches, but make sure you’re comfortable working with fluffy yarn before you begin. A stitch marker is a must-have for this project!
2. Crochet Amigurumi Turkey
This amigurumi turkey is short, squat, and super cute! The pattern calls for worsted weight yarn, and you’ll only need to know basic stitches, so this is a fantastic pattern if you’re new to crochet.
3. Crochet Turkey
This adorable turkey stuffed animal is more doll-like, with arms and legs in addition to its colorful tail feathers. Like the previous pattern, you’ll need worsted yarn in a variety of colors. The pattern uses simple stitches and includes lots of helpful tips and pictures, so this amigurumi turkey will be very easy to crochet.
4. Gobble Gobble Amigurumi Turkey
This turkey has a tail that’s crocheted as one piece, so it’s great if you prefer a pattern with very little sewing. The entire turkey is crocheted in the round using worsted-weight yarn and basic stitches, so it’ll work up super quickly and easily.
5. Mini Chonk Turkey
Here’s a super cute, super round mini amigurumi turkey! It’s made with easy stitches plus the bobble stitch, and in case you’ve never used the bobble stitch before, here’s a tutorial. For this project, you’ll need to pick up some bulky chenille yarn like Bernat Blanket or Lion Brand Cover Story Chainette.
6. Turkey Amigurumi
This turkey is especially cute because his head is almost the same size as his body! Plus, look at those adorable little feet! This project is very easy to make because the head and body are crocheted as one piece, and the pattern includes lots of progress photos. Just pick up some worsted yarn and you’ll have an adorable turkey in no time!
7. Thanksgiving Turkey Amigurumi
This is a fun geometric turkey with a tail made of granny squares. By combining granny squares with the amigurumi technique of working in the round, Petals to Picots has created a pattern that features all the best parts of crochet! This is an easy pattern that uses worsted-weight yarn; just be sure you’re comfortable with sewing before you begin.
8. Small Animal Collection: Crochet Turkey
This turkey is so cute, and you can even accessorize it with a cozy hat and scarf! The pattern calls for worsted yarn and easy stitches, but there are lots of parts that have to be assembled and sewn together, so this pattern is good for crocheters who already have a bit of experience with amigurumi.
9. Tomas Turkey Crochet Beanie
Of course, crochet turkeys don’t just come in amigurumi form! Turkey-themed hats are another project you can work on, and they’ll keep you super warm and cozy this Thanksgiving!
The Tomas Turkey beanie is easy to make as long as you can do basic stitches plus the front-post and back-post double crochet—and if you’ve never learned those stitches before, don’t worry, because the pattern has links to tutorials. The pattern is for an adult-size hat, though you can change the sizing slightly if needed by using a bigger or smaller hook.

Here’s another easy turkey beanie, and this one features a fun pom-pom made with Thanksgiving colors. The pattern calls for basic stitches plus front-post double crochet, and the hat comes in one adult size.

I love this beanie, especially the way the turkey’s tail feathers on top match the multicolor brim. You’ll just need worsted yarn and knowledge of simple stitches plus front- and back-post double crochet, so this is quite an easy project to make. Plus, you can make matching hats for your whole family: the pattern is written in toddler sizing, but it includes a link to a tutorial for how to adjust it to any size!
12. Crochet Turkey Hat – All Sizes
This turkey beanie has some super-cozy ear flaps that are sure to keep you warm in the autumn chill. This is a great pattern because it includes instructions for six sizes, from newborn through adult, and because it uses easy stitches and even includes a video tutorial.
13. Turkey Earflap Hat
Here’s another cozy earflap hat, and this one has super fun curly feathers. The pattern includes six sizes (baby through adult) and calls for aran yarn. On the designer’s YouTube channel, you can find tutorials for the curly feathers, beak, and other elements of the hat, so you’ll be able to make one even if you’re pretty new to crochet.
14. Cooked Turkey Hat
Here’s a super funny hat that looks like a cooked turkey instead of a wild one! It combines a standard beanie with amigurumi turkey legs, and you’ll only need two colors of worsted yarn. Best of all, the hat can be made in five sizes, from toddler through adult large.
15. Tiny Turkey Leg
If you like the idea of cooked turkey but don’t want to wear one on your head, you can make an amigurumi cooked turkey! This pattern is for a turkey leg, and it would be perfect either as Thanksgiving décor or for your kids’ play kitchen. It’s made with worsted yarn and super-easy stitches, so it should work up very quickly.

Of course, you can also make a whole cooked turkey in amigurumi form! This one can be a cute cozy item with a smiling face, or you can leave the face off to use the crocheted food in a play kitchen. This is a pretty easy pattern, but make sure you’re comfortable with pinning and sewing the legs. There are tons of helpful pictures to guide you through that assembly process.
17. Turkey Placemat
And we’re not done with cozy turkey crochet items! There are plenty of patterns that will help make your home cozy, even if they’re not a warm hat or a steaming piece of real turkey.
This placemat would be a fun addition to your table if you’re hosting Thanksgiving dinner. It’s made with worsted-weight cotton yarn, so it’s heat resistant, and you’ll just need to know basic stitches plus the picot stitch.
18. Crochet Turkey Wreath
Here’s a cheerful turkey wreath you can use to welcome guests to your home. You’ll need worsted-weight yarn, a wreath form, and various crochet notions. The wreath is made with easy stitches, even for the part that wraps around the wreath form, but if you want the pattern to work up even more quickly, you can also just wrap the form in yarn.
19. Turkey Lurkey Mug Wrap
Part of staying cozy at Thanksgiving is enjoying warm drinks like hot cocoa, apple cider, and tea. This turkey mug wrap, with its cute face and colorful tail feathers, is the perfect way to drink your favorite beverage without burning your hands!

The pattern calls for easy stitches plus the half-treble stitch, which is described.

Both are described in the pattern, so this is a good project if you’re ready to learn new skills.
