📝 Pattern Outline & Assembly
Based on the construction of other huggy pouches by this designer and the images:
I. Pouch Base (Dark Brown)
- This forms the lower body, which is a round/oval pouch.
- You will need two pieces (Front and Back).
II. Turkey Head/Hat (Medium Brown/Tan)
- This forms the top piece/lid of the pouch, likely crocheted in rounds to create a dome shape.
III. Facial Details (Head/Hat Piece)
- Insert Safety Eyes.
- Add small features like the beak (yellow) and wattle (red) using small crocheted shapes or embroidery.
- Wings (Dark Brown): Small shapes likely sewn or crocheted directly onto the sides of the head piece.
IV. Body Details (Front Pouch Piece)
- Cheeks: Two yellow bobble stitches (BO) are worked into the front pouch piece to represent the cheeks.
V. Feathers (Red, Orange, Yellow)
- Separate colorful leaf/petal shapes crocheted in red, orange, and yellow.
- These are attached to the back seam of the pouch.
VI. Closure & Keyring
- Sew the button onto the outside of the front pouch piece.
- Create a loop using the crocheted yarn or the fabric ribbon and attach it to the top of the head piece to serve as the button loop closure.
- Attach the key ring to the ribbon loop.
Final Assembly:
- The two dark brown pouch pieces are crocheted together along the bottom and sides.
- The medium brown head/hat piece is attached to the top opening of the pouch via the button closure mechanism.
