All Finished.

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)

Lets Start The Amigurumi Turtle Crochet Pattern

Head: 
color 1 (white)
Start with the magic ring with 6 sc – 1rnd.
2 rnd: 2 sc in next sc (12)
3 rnd: [1 sc in next 2 sc, 2 sc in next sc] x 4 times (16)
4 rnd: 1 sc in next 5 sc, 2 sc in next 6 sc, 1 sc in next 5 sc (22)
5 rnd: 1 sc in each next sc (22)
6 rnd: 1 sc in each next sc (22)
7 rnd: 1 sc in next 5 sc, [sc2 tog] x 6 times, 1 sc in next 5 sc (16)
8 rnd: 1 sc in each next sc (16)
9 rnd: [1 sc in next 2 sc, sc2tog] x 4 times (12)
10 rnd: 1 sc in next sc (12)
11 rnd: 1 sc in next sc (12)
12 rnd: [1 sc in next sc, sc2tog] x 4 times (8)
13 to 15 rnds: 1 sc in each next sc (8) – total 3 rnds
Fasten off.

Finishing the head:

1. Place eyes centered between rnds 4 and 5, in a distance about 1/3 of all circle.
2. Make the mouth with some red yarn (centered between rnds 5 and 6,
   width of mouth is about 2 sc).
3. Stuff the head generally at the top, reducing the filling on the bottom.

Legs x 4:
color 1 (white)
Start with the magic ring with 6 sc – 1rnd.
2 rnd: [1 sc in next 2 sc, 2 sc in next sc] x 2 times (8)
3 – 5 rnds: 1 sc in each next sc (8) – total 3 rnds
Fasten off.

Tail:
color 1 (white)
Start with the magic ring with 6 sc – 1rnd.
2 to 6 rnds: 1 sc in each next sc (6) – total 5 rnds
Fasten off.

Shell:
The shell consists of two parts: the upper and lower.

Upper part:

color 2 (blue)
Start with the magic ring with 6 sc – 1rnd.
2 rnd: 2 sc in next sc (12)
3 rnd: [1 sc in next sc, 2 sc in next sc] x 6 times (18)
4 rnd: [1 sc in next 2 sc, 2 sc in next sc] x 6 times (24)
5 rnd: [1 sc in next 3 sc, 2 sc in next sc] x 6 times (30)
6 to 11 rnds: 1 sc in each next sc (30)
Color scheme for 6 – 11 rnds:
6 rnd:  color 1 (white)
7 – 8 rnds: color 2 (blue)
9 rnd: color 1 (white)
10 rnd: color 2 (blue)
11 rnd: color 1 (white)
Join color 2 (blue)
12 rnd: 2 sc in each next sc (60)
Fasten off.

Bottom part:
color 1 (white)
Start with the magic ring with 6 sc – 1rnd.
2 rnd: 2 sc in next sc (12)
3 rnd: [1 sc in next sc, 2 sc in next sc] x 6 times (18)
4 rnd: [1 sc in next 2 sc, 2 sc in next sc] x 6 times (24)
5 rnd: [1 sc in next 3 sc, 2 sc in next sc] x 6 times (30)
6 rnd: 1 sc in each next sc.
Fasten off.

Finishing the Turtle:
Stuff the top of the shell and start sewing all parts together with color 1 (white)
Use pins to hold together all the pieces before sewing.
Fasten off and weave all the yarn.

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.
