Crochet Turkey

I live in the Netherlands and people unfortunately do not celebrate Thanksgiving around here, but I saw this adorable pattern at Craft Passion and because I think turkeys are so ugly they actually become handsome, I just had to make one. Only birds more ugly than turkeys are marabous, of course.

I had some pink polkadot left over after making the lunch bag and with some yarn, a crochet hook and a sewing machine I created this little bag for her: Bag closed with drawstring Bag open Bottom For who wants a pattern of the triangle grannies: I used the same pattern that I used for this bunting (with tutorial)! www.betweennapsontheporch.net
