Turkey Themed Knitting Patterns

There aren’t a lot of knitting patterns out there that are specific to Thanksgiving. I’ve done a roundup of turkey knitting patterns before, and I checked in on Ravelry and didn’t find a lot that is new since then, but here are a few turkeys and turkey-themed projects I don’t think I’ve shared before.

Let’s start with turkey amingurumi. This autumn turkey in a basket from sahiyoishii on Etsy is super cute and would be fun to have on the table as part of your centerpiece. The turkey is removable from the basket so little kids are sure to want to play with it, too. The project is all knit flat and seamed, and it uses DK weight yarn.

If you want a slightly more literal Thanksgiving turkey to knit, check out the turkey toy form knitNunique, also one Etsy. This one looks like a turkey that’s ready to go in the oven, and it would also be great to make for use in a little one’s toy kitchen.

Billy and Baa has a pom pom gnome pattern with a festive turkey shaped hat. This pattern uses worsted weight yarn and you can get it for free on Ravelry or their website.

How about some turkey themed washcloths? These make cleaning up the holiday meal a little more fun, or use them in your bathroom.

The Wild Turkey pattern from Ezcareknits is a simple stockinette pattern with the turkey worked in garter stitch. It calls for worsted weight cotton yarn. You can buy this pattern on Ravelry.

Daisy and Storm has the Turkey Square washcloth, which is a free pattern on their website and features a classic turkey with big tail feathers. The design is meant to be a washcloth or an afghan block.

I also love this double knit turkey potholder from Donielle Oliver Showvay, which uses a solid and a multicolored yarn to make the turkey design and the word grateful. It’s worked from a chart but there’s also a video tutorial to help you along. Get the pattern on Ravelry or as part of a set of double knit potholder patterns on Etsy.

It seems like every summer there’s a new crop of tank top knitting patterns, and what I noticed about a lot of the new releases this year is that they have fun little details that make them a little more interesting both to knit and to wear.

Like the Sailoress Top from Joji Locatelli, which has a pretty cable worked up the center from and back, with shorter sections of cable work on the shoulders. It uses DK weight yarn and comes in 10 sizes up to a bust circumference of 72 inches/ 158 cm. You can find the pattern on Ravelry.

Combine lace and cables in an allover pattern on the Mountain Laurel Top from Andrea Gaughan. This sport weight pattern is worked from the bottom up in the count and has 10 sizes. It’s available on Ravelry.

The Vienna Textured Tank Top by Sarah Hatton has wide ribs broken up by eyelets. There’s very little shaping so it’s a pretty easy knit worked in fingering weight yarn. There are nine sizes available and it’s a free download on Ravelry.

Make a tank with a boho vibe perfect for festival season with Mary Beth Temple’s Tropical Sunset Tank Top. Worked in worsted weight cotton yarn, it’s knit from the bottom up in pieces to make it more stable. The coloring changing yarn is perfect for this one, or you can make it solid or work in your own stripes. You can get the XS size free on her blog, and other sizes are available on Ravelry.

Looking for a cropped lacy V-neck top to knit for summer? Jessie Maed Designs has the Sundae Swirl Tank, worked in DK weight yarn in the round with a fun combination of lace and cables. The ribbing under the arms helps give it a great fit. There are six sizes up to a chest measurement of 62 inches/157.5 cm. You can find this one on Ravelry.

How about a tank top with buttons? The Ridge Tank Button Down from Bluebird Pine Shop could double as a vest in cooler weather. This one is made with light fingering weight yarn and comes in 10 sizes. Grab a copy on Ravelry.

An otherwise simple top can be made a little more interesting with the addition of a fun edging, like on Sarah Opie’s Seashell Tank. Worked in fingering weight yarn, it has a whopping 24 sizes and lots of customization options for making it fit the way you want. The edging is crocheted. Learn more on Ravelry.
