Amigurumi Turtle Crochet Pattern

Hello amigurumi lovers and beautiful visitors, I wanted to share the free amigurumi patterns for you here. In my article I will share 1 pattern and how to make it for you. At the end of my article, I will share amigurumi patterns that can generate ideas for you.

Supplies:
4mm crochet hook. 4/Medium weight yarn in any colors you’d like for your turtle. Black embroidery thread. 8mm safety eyes. Stuffing. Scissors. Tapestry needle.

Additional Information:
Difficulty: Easy
The term “Main Color” is used in this pattern. That means any color you’d like the turtle’s skin to be. I used green as the main color for one, and pink for the other. The turtle’s body is made in one piece, starting from the head and working down to the body. We then make the limbs, shell, and tummy.
After that we create all the fun accessories! You can use one accessory for another purpose, such as a bow for the girl’s head or as a bow tie for the boy. You can make also make the scarf a headband.
