Fun Turkey Knitting Patterns

Turkey is eaten a lot during the holiday season, but turkeys are also a fun thing to knit. These turkey toys are great to decorate the holiday table, make a fun wreath out of or just give to the kiddos to play with while they’re waiting for the real turkey to cook.

Speaking of real turkeys, this roast turkey Christmas dinner chocolate cover is so funny and cute! It comes with sides of carrots and sprouts, and was designed by Rebecca Roberts. You can get the pattern on Ravelry.

Wingman from Knit Click Shop on Etsy is another chocolate cover, though this one looks like a live turkey. If you don’t have a need to cover chocolate oranges, put him on top of a real orange or just stuff with stuffing.

This little turkey ornament is great to use as part of the place setting at the table, or you can make it an ornament for the tree. It comes from Handmade Mary Ellen on Etsy.

Tom Turkey from The Byrds Nest on Etsy uses a funky textured yarn to make his feathers that much more interesting, but of course you can use whatever yarn you have on hand. He’s also knit flat so he’s great for newer knitters.

The Knitting Gnome has an adorable Tim Turkey with cute little feathers that are all different colors. What a great way to use up tiny bits of yarn!

Nicola Riley has another turkey called Wingman, which is also knit flat and sewn together. It looks like he’s wearing an old-fashioned football helmet, too. You can grab this pattern on Ravelry.

Christmas Sock Knitting Patterns

Why should the fireplace get all the fun? Instead of knitting stockings this year, why not whip up a pair of Christmas themed socks? These Christmas sock knitting patterns are lots of fun to make and you can wear them to holiday gatherings for years to come.

For our friends in the southern part of the world, there are the Christmas in July socks from the Kiwi Lodge – Kylie (Ravelry link). These shorty socks are covered in Christmas trees and have bright pink heels and toes for a tropical feel. There’s also an option to make a longer sock if you celebrate somewhere it’s colder.

Twin Stitches Designs (Ravelry) has a fun pattern with mix and match colorwork motifs you can use to build your own cozy Christmas socks. From the sample socks I see Christmas puddings, trucks hauling trees, Santa belts, ornaments and a couple of different borders. There may be more patterns included but the listing doesn’t say. Make a pair that matches or use different motifs on each foot for extra holiday cheer.

If you want to stick to Christmas puddings on your holiday socks, check out this cute pattern from Stone Knits. These lovely socks feature a band of puddings around the leg and a bit of holly by the toes.

These vintage holiday light socks from Grey Owl Knits by Sarah are classic looking and lots of fun at the same time. I love this color combination but of course you can make your lights and stripes whatever colors you like or have on hand. They’re worked using stranded knitting.

And if you’d like even more of a mix of patterns for your socks, try Barbara Ceglédi’s Christmas Chaos socks, a free pattern on Ravelry. The pattern includes 25 little motifs you can choose from, ranging from snowflakes and Christmas trees to elf hats, reindeer and hearts.
