Thanksgiving is not a holiday that we usually celebrate in the UK, but last year I was lucky enough to celebrate it with my sister and her family who live in America. It was wonderful to be part of a traditional American celebration and enjoy turkey, sweet potatos and the famous pumpkin pie. I was also amazed by all the Thanksgiving decorations both in the stores and that we made at home. And so this year, I am going to give our English home some Thanksgiving decorations, starting with this little Turkey cork gnome.
If you make this Turkey gnome, I would love to see it so why not tag me on Instagram using #Crochetcloudberry ?
Want to remember this pattern later? Why not pin it or save it using the buttons on the side/bottom bar.
Cork (approx 4.5 cm tall and 3 cm wide) – If you don’t have a spare cork lying around you can buy a pack of recycled corks or make this cute little amigurumi cork.
You can purchase yarn at lovecrochet. (Using this link does not cost you any extra but I will earn a small commission, will help me keep posting free crochet patterns).
