Amigurumi animal - Sea Turtle




Material:-
  • Worsted-weight yarn, Light Green & Light Brown color
  • F/5 3.75mm crochet hook
  • Poly-Fil or any stuffing of your choice
  • Yarn needle
  • Two 8.5mm plastic safety eyes
  • White colour Felt

Abbreviation Key:-
  • sc = single crochet
  • ch = chain
  • sl st = slip stitch
  • dec = decrease (join next 2 sts into 1)
  • inc = increase (2 sc in next st)
  • BLO = back loop only
  • FLO = front loop only

Notes:-
  • This crochet Little Sea Turtle are special order from my BFF. Gauge is not important – just keep a consistent tension throughout the entire project.
  • Crochet in a spiral. Use something to mark the first stitch of a round, and move it up as you work.
  • “The Magic Circle” is use to start each piece. Alternative technique: ch 2, then sc x6 into the second chain away from the hook. Slip stitch to join the round. This creates Round 1.
