This is a downloadable PDF knitting pattern for the “Turkey Leg Hat.”

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!

Bralette is meant to be worn with -4 to 0” of ease, depending on your fit preferences.
Due to the extremely stretchy nature of the chenille yarn, bralette sizes were calculated with -8 to -10” of ease, which results in a finished garment with -1 to -4” of ease for each size.
Choose a finished garment size closest to your full bust measurement, subtracting 0-4” based on fit preference. If you are in between measurements by 1-2”, I recommend sizing down.

Yarn

Category 6/super bulky chenille yarn

I am specifically recommending polyester chenille yarns for this pattern (and specifically discouraging the use of velvet yarn, which doesn’t have any stretch).
Please note that even if you meet gauge with non-chenille yarns the bralette will turn out much smaller than you expect (this is because the gauge was calculated specifically to accommodate the large amount of stretch in polyester chenille).

Suggested yarns:

Premiere Yarns Premiere Basix Chenille, 220 yds/201 m, 300g
100% polyester

Bernat Baby Blanket (or Baby Blanket Sparkle)
220 yds/201 m, 300g

Construction

Bralette is knit flat in one piece and seamed down the sides. Start with the front bottom hem ribbing, then the front body. You will then shape the neckline and work both straps at the same time. Sts are cast on to shape back panel and join straps. Continue working down back body and finish with back hem ribbing

These handwarmer mitts are an homage to the 11 years I lived in Los Angeles. The LA River is not exactly a beautiful landmark; most of what runs through the city is a paved over concrete channel. But if you know, you know that the realest, most exciting, and most vibrant parts of Los Angeles are found close to the river.
A thick band of stockinette stitch evoking the river’s channel runs through the middle of these mitts, surrounded by stretchy ribbing that ensures a comfortably snug fit.

Worsted weight cotton held triple worked on small needles creates a dense and thick fabric that effectively shields hands and countertops from heat. The original Perfect Potholder gets a fun wintertime twist using simple increase and bind off techniques.
