Tennessee "The Traveling Turkey'
Measurements: Approximately 8.5" tall sitting, 10.5" tall standing, and 6.5" wide Materials: Worsted Weight Yarn in Brown, Orange, Red, Cream & Taupe 2 - 12mm Safety Eyes 4.5mm Hook Polyester Fiberfill or other Toy Filling Yarn Needle Stitch Marker
Design Notes:
I used Caron ilb for this pattern. I find this worsted weight yarn to be thicker than other worsted weight yarns. If using any other brand, I suggest using a 4.omm crochet hook or smaller. You can use any yarn weight and appropriate hook to create this pattern. This will affect the size of your finished piece. Amigurumi does need to be crocheted tightly so the stuffing does not show through. If using a different yarn weight, make sure to use a smaller hook than the yarn recommends. In addition, safety eyes can be considered a choking hazard. If you intend on giving this doll to a child under 3 years old, it is highly suggested you use yarn eyes in place of the plastic safety eyes.

HAIR INSTRUCTIONS (Optional)
Beginning at the center stitch at the top of the head, taking one strands of yarn approximately 5" long, fold yarn in half. Pull yarn under one stitch and pull ends through the loop of the yarn. Continue this process for each strand of hair. The hair on this one is only added to Rnd 1 of the body. Trim the hair and use a yarn needle to separate the individual plies of yarn.
