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…

  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.

Lightweight Lacy Crochet Tee Pattern That’s Perfect for Layering

Some crochet garments look beautiful on the hanger but feel awkward to wear. This Lacy Crochet Tee from Lana Grossa is not one of those pieces. It’s light, breathable, and very much designed to be worn — the kind of handmade top that slips easily into your everyday wardrobe without feeling “too precious.”

What immediately stands out is the openness of the stitch pattern. It has that airy, lacy feel that works so well for warmer weather or for layering over a tank or dress. This isn’t a heavy, structured garment; it’s soft and fluid, with just enough texture to make it interesting while still letting the yarn shine.

From a making point of view, this tee is a really enjoyable project if you like crochet that feels calm and rhythmic. The lace pattern keeps your hands engaged without constant counting or frustration, which makes it perfect for evening crochet or quiet weekend sessions. It’s also very satisfying watching the fabric grow — those lacy stitches really show progress quickly.

Skill-wise, this one is best suited to confident beginners moving into intermediate crochet. You don’t need advanced shaping skills, but being comfortable with stitch patterns and keeping even tension will make the process much more enjoyable. If you’ve been wanting to dip your toe into wearable crochet without tackling a full sweater, this is a great place to start.

What I really appreciate about this pattern is how versatile it is. Change the colour and fibre and it can feel casual and beachy or clean and modern. It’s the kind of tee you’ll reach for again and again, especially when you want something handmade that still feels light and effortless.

If you enjoy crochet garments that are wearable, practical, and quietly stylish, this lacy tee is a lovely pattern to have in your collection.
