Yes, although we’ve already made a post about a Thanksgiving monkey last year, it’s just not complete without a pilgrim monkey amigurumi to go along with it. So here we have it–a pilgrim and an Indian amigurumi. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! That’s it!! Haha kidding, I’m not done rambling yet. :D

Anyway, let’s get back to the main point of this post. It’s almost Thanksgiving! Which means stuffing ourselves silly full of yummy food right~~? Ah~ already getting off topic…sorry about that, I’ll put the pre-Thanksgiving drooling on pause.

Why didn’t we make this pilgrim monkey amigurumi last year? I don’t even know the answer to that question! I’m guessing we were probably procrastinating again on making the monthly amigurumi and ended up with only one. So after a year of seeing our original Thanksgiving monkey sitting around by lonesome self, we finally decided to make this pilgrim monkey amigurumi to accompany it…that is, in feasting on a turkey!!!

Cutting out the felt collar piece was unexpectedly challenging. Maybe it’s because I haven’t been cutting much felt lately, but that collar sure was trying my patience! The shape of it is so simple, yet I sat there for quite a while trimming away at it to get the signature pilgrim look. I remember thinking, “why can’t I cut such a simple shape?! Am I stupid?!”. But anyway, everything turned out fine. :D

Maybe our pilgrim monkey amigurumi would rather feast on a sheep instead..? That’s a glow-in-the-dark sheep, by the way.

Nah, in the end, it’s got to be turykey! And yes, they are doing exactly what you are thinking…..petting the turkey!! :D No? That’s not what you were thinking? Aha! You must have been thinking…EAT the turkey, huh?

For those of you who were wondering–no, we did not forget about the month of November and yes, we have a Thanksgiving monkey amigurumi just for it. Hope everyone stuffed themselves silly with lots of yummy foods during the holidays!

For our Thanksgiving monkey amigurumi, we went with the Native American look. We could have gone with the pilgrim look but ultimately decided that a Native American monkey would allow for more decoration. Since we already had a lot of Native American styled props lying around the house, why not use them here?

Doesn’t our Thanksgiving monkey amigurumi look so cozy and right at home with all the props in the background? Sometimes those random souvenirs you buy on trips really come in handy!

By the way, the feathers on its headdress are parakeet feathers! We used to have a couple of parakeets and when it came to cleaning their cage, we’d always have a nice supply of some pretty feathers. We saved up quite a few of them, so that also gave us another reason to make a Native American monkey amigurumi. Yes I know, it should have way more feathers on its headdress, but our parakeets weren’t balding!

Our Thanksgiving monkey amigurumi with its turkey friend. Come to think of it, we didn’t even eat turkey this Thanksgiving… Instead, we ate…….duck. :(

Its face paint is actually red and white nail polish! Could have just used paint, but I didn’t have a paintbrush and plus, I didn’t want to wash it afterwards either. But since nail polish already comes with a brush, it was much more tempting and easy solution to my little dilemma hahaa.
