Crochet Turkey Or Chicken??

by

Sonia calls these cuties chickens.  I think they’d pass nicely, maybe with a wee color change, as turkeys to decorate the dinner table for a Thanksgiving feast.  I love most everything Sonia designs!  While her blog is originally posted in Portugese, the Google translation is adequate, plus, Tania includes a nice chart for us to follow.  You could add these to a doily you already crocheted, one your purchase, or to a table runner you make or purchase.  Any way you present this, it is sure to be noted by all around your table.  It would also make a lovely and quick hostess gift if you add some of these tiny turkeys (ok, I’ve decided they’re turkeys!) to a purchased place mat or table runner.  What do you think?  Wouldn’t you like Sonia to make one for you??

While you’re at Sonia’s blog, poke around and see all the goodies there if you haven’t visited before.  She’s quite accomplished, very prolific with her crochet, and I suspect she seldom sleeps!

  2. Realmente, podemos fazer mudanças e transformá-la, em lindos perus. Gostei da sugestão… Você também acertou quando disse que acha que quase não durmo 🙂 Eu realmente durmo pouco… Estou trabalhando isso… Mais uma vez muito obrigada pela referencia…
    Beijos

  3. Sonia,
    Since I don’t read Portugese very well, I asked Google to translate your message. This is what I got:

    Actually, we can make changes and transform it into beautiful turkeys. I liked the suggestion … You are also right when he said he thinks almost no sleep 🙂 I really just sleep … I’m working on it … Again thanks for the reference …
    Kisses

    Thanks so much for writing and for sharing your designs.

The Official Stardew Valley Crochet Book: That Rooster Had Me Hooked

Apparently, this is the year chickens took over my crafting attention. First came the emotional support chickens, then the pocket chickens, and now a rooster has managed to talk me into looking at another crochet book.

Honestly, put a crocheted chicken in front of me at this point and I’m going to stop scrolling.

That is exactly what happened with The Official Stardew Valley Crochet Book. The rooster sucked me in before I had even properly investigated what else was inside. After all the emotional support chicken crochet patterns we’ve been sharing, you would think I’d have had enough poultry. Apparently, there is still room in the imaginary yarn coop.

Now, a little honesty before we go any further: I haven’t read this book yet or tried its patterns. This is a look at why it has caught my attention ahead of publication. I have a very good feeling about this one, and I’m expecting it to be a lovely addition to the crochet bookshelf.

What’s Inside The Official Stardew Valley Crochet Book?

The publisher describes a collection of 25 crochet patterns with variations for more than 45 amigurumi projects, created by ConcernedApe, Megan Lapp and Ryan Novak.

The announced projects include Junimos, Slimes, chickens, a Junimo Hut and familiar game items. There are simpler projects such as Eggs alongside more challenging makes, including the Mermaid Pendant.

The chicken variations are particularly tempting, with different beaks, combs and tail feathers, plus White, Blue, Brown, Golden and Void varieties. You can probably see why my attention keeps wandering back to the coop.

It is scheduled for release on 26 January 2027 through Random House Worlds, with 240 pages in the hardcover edition.

Why This Crochet Book Is on My Radar

What appeals to me is the combination of recognisable characters and slightly ridiculous little objects. Those are often the crochet projects that make me smile most. A useful blanket is wonderful, but sometimes you simply want a tiny yarn creature keeping you company beside the sewing machine.

If you’ve enjoyed our emotional support pocket chicken crochet feature, you’ll understand the attraction. Small, characterful projects have a way of becoming much more tempting than the sensible project already waiting in your basket.

For Stardew Valley fans, there is also the pleasure of making something connected to a favourite game. We’ve previously shared a Junimo crochet pattern, so this feels like a lovely next book to explore for readers who enjoy that crossover between gaming and yarn.

Would I Add It to My Crochet Wishlist?

Absolutely. I can’t yet comment on the clarity of the instructions, the finishing details or how the patterns work up. Those are things I would want to assess with the book and a hook in hand.

But based on the announced collection, I know this is going to be a good one for my kind of crochet browsing: plenty of personality, playful projects and chickens I’m already mentally choosing yarn for.

I came for the rooster. I suspect I’ll stay for the rest of the farm.
