Add some festive cheer to your life, whatever the season! At 23cm/9in tall when seated, Trevor is a lot smaller than the average turkey - but what he lacks in height, he makes up for in cuddliness! The colour change on his neck is worked using slipped stitches so there’s no intricate intarsia or fiddly Fair Isle. Better still, you don’t need any extra materials to create that terrific turkey tail, which is around 23cm/9in at its widest point, just yarn and stuffing! (Don’t panic, Trevor - that’s toy stuffing, not sage and onion…)

All pieces are knitted flat on straight needles (although most can be knitted in the round). They’re then seamed and attached using mattress stitch.

You’ll be pleased to know that this pattern has been reviewed by professional technical editor to ensure that it’s super-easy to follow!

The boring bit…
This pattern is intended for personal use so it’s fine to print it out for personal use but please don’t sell it, share it on the internet or make multiple copies. What you can sell (more money for yarn – YAY!) is finished items made from this pattern so long as you’ve made them yourself and it’s not on a commercial basis. Please remember to credit me as the designer!

And finally…
