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.
You will need:
- 2 mm crochet hook,
- 2 different yarns calling for 2 mm hook (white and blue),
- some red yarn for making the mouth,
- 2 black safety amigurumi eyes,
- soft stuffing,
- tapestry needle.
Abbreviations:
ch = chain (s)
rnd(s) = round (s)
sc = single crochet
sl st = slip stitch
Also:
If you prefer to work continiously, you should use a stitch marker.
But if not, you should do 1 ch in the beginning of each round
and close each round with a sl st (I used to work this way)
