Happy November Everyone! I can’t believe it’s already November! Just like all of you, I have no idea where the year has gone. Today’s post brings me to this really cute Crochet Hat Pattern requested by a friend. I think it’s perfect for the entire month of November.

My dear friend wanted something festive that she could wear the entire month. She didn’t say what, so I let my creativity flow and created this really cute Crochet Turkey Hat for her. It’s not a normal fall here in Montana as the days are still in the 50’s but it’s still in the teens and low 20’s of the morning. Most of us Montanans don’t even bother putting on a coat or hat but sometimes we feel like being festive.

I took to my dwindling yarn stash once again and found the perfect colors for this hat. Not to self, I need to stock up on brown and white. I used every last scrap I had to create this Crochet Hat. I hope you enjoy making this hat as much as I did. Please leave comments and pictures below, I’d love to see your finished projects.

For the waddle: With red yarn, chain 8. Place 3 SC in 2nd chain from the hook. Now place 3 SC in each stitch across. Fasten off and leave a long tail for attaching the waddle to the crochet hat. Note: Your waddle will look like it’s curled.

For the Pom Pom: With your red yarn, chain 82. Now clip your red yarn and attach your orange yarn, Chain 82 again. Clip your orange yarn and attach your green yarn, chain 82 one last time. Do not fasten off. SLST in every 12th stitch all the way down to the end. Fasten off leaving a long tail. Grab your yarn needle and weave in your yarn ends through out the chain where you changed colors. Thread your tail onto your yarn needle and weave your needle back and forth through each stitch. At the end pull the yarn tight to close the chain into a ball. Clip your yarn and secure the two tails with a knot. This is what you will use to attach the pom pom to your hat.

Assembly: Attach your two eyes to the hat. I like to use a whip stitch to attach the eyes. Make sure to place them as close together as possible. I think it looks cute with the eyes touching each other. Weave in your ends. Now grab your beak. Place just below the eyes and attach with a whip stitch to the crochet hat, weave in your ends. Next, place your waddle just above the beak and below the eyes. Attach to the crochet hat with a whip stitch. Weave in your tails. Lastly, pull your two yarn tails from the pom pom through the very top of the hat. Secure with a knot and weave in your ends. Grab your hot glue gun and preheat. Glue your googly eyes to the middle of the white eyes and you are done!
