Getty the Turkey

I have had this pattern for a very long time but I decided to give it a little update just in time for the Fall! Turkeys seem almost like a mascot for November and you could say they’re cute enough to… eat. Which sounds sort of brutal but we are just going to stick to the crochet version instead!

I personally think this project is a great center piece for the holidays and I hope everyone enjoys him/her/them too! Are you going to be changing the colors of the tail feathers? I would love to see all the variations made form my free pattern below!
