Follow my turkey wreath crochet pattern and learn to crochet a fun and colorful Thanksgiving decor!
I found this beautiful multicolor yarn aran- warn wheat all in one granny square and wanted to crochet a turkey wreath with granny squares. Unfortunately, I had no luck using that yarn to make granny squares so the specific colors are in the correct rows. Just look at the picture!
So, I got the idea to use that yarn to crochet a turkey wreath, but in a different way. Also, I found all the coordinate colors for the aran- warm wheat granny square yar. I’ll wright about them in a separate post.
