Yes, he's a large-boned boy (18" tall in a sitting position), crocheted with good old Lion Brand Homespun in their Harvest colorway and a K hook. Instead of using Fiberfill to stuff this guy I used styrofoam beanbag chair pellets. Not only are they incredibly light, but I love the fact that this Tom Turkey sits comfortably on his rear due to his movable innards.
Notice any similarities?
Yes, I have a big plastic Godzilla toy. So what.
If you want your own Turkeyzilla, you can purchase one here.
I also wanted to thank everyone for their wonderful comments about my chicken apron. You guys rock!
