Turkey Trot with Marly Bird 2019 Crochet Clue #3
Let’s bring it all home! Turkey Trot with Marly Bird 2019 Crochet Clue #3 is here.
What you should know
Of course this is a Mystery Make Along project (if you want to know more you can click the link) so I am assuming that you have faith in me and my design ability and that is why you are following along. So, thank you for that. ????
Because I know there are some sizing decisions that will need to be made along the way I will be sure to mention little extras in the pattern I think you should know before proceeding. That way, you are not totally blind to the design.
Just like on clue #2, for the Turkey Trot with Marly Bird Crochet Clue #3 I think you should know there are still only two sizes to choose from, but there is a shorter (petite) option for the largest size.
- If you typically wear a S, M, or L then you should follow the instructions for the S-L size. This is the first number outside the parentheses.
- If you typically wear an XL, 2XL, or 3XL then you should follow the instructions for the XL-3XL size. This is the first number inside the parentheses.
- If you are making the XL-3XL size but need a shorter (petite) option be sure to follow a special set of instructions below.
For the Turkey Trot with Marly Bird Crochet Clue #3 I think you should know that you can try on the piece and see how it looks at this point. Clue #3 has you adding the rest of the length to the piece so you can get a pretty good idea for how long yours will be after this clue is finished. Should you wish to make your own adjustments you absolutely can do that but I will let you know I love mine the way it is 😉
Okay, time for the pattern information.
Turkey Trot with Marly Bird 2019 Crochet Clue #3
MEASUREMENTS
The instructions are written for the smallest size. If changes are necessary for larger size(s) the instructions will be written with the larger numbers inside the parentheses.
There is a special set of instructions for crocheters making the larger size but need a shorter (petite) option.
To Fit Sizes: S-L (XL-3XL)
Clue #2 and #3: The measurements are listed for each individual size to make it easier for the crocheter to know what their size measurements will be.

Gauge: 11 sts = 4″ [10 cm], CHECK YOUR GAUGE. Use any size hook to obtain the gauge. *added note: the Latte Cake yarn has a good amount of stretch, so be sure to account for that stretch when you check your gauge.*
