A whimsical holiday knit, the Turkey Leg Hat is constructed by seaming two 3D “turkey legs” to the sides of a simple slouchy hat. Worked up in super bulky weight yarn, this hat is a lightning-fast project that requires only one skein of main color yarn or less per each size. With 4 sizes total included, you’ll want to make one for the whole family!
