I’m not quite sure why, but the hottest pattern on our site right now is a turtle. So, I’ve decided to add another one to our collection, hoping you’ll adore it as much as I do. Just take a moment to appreciate this cuteness! The pattern features an easy-to-follow guide for creating turtles of two types!
Within the pattern, you’ll find a shared beginning and two body types – one for a pink turtle and another for a watermelon-themed turtle. All you’ll need is your basic crochet toolkit and four primary colors. Of course, if you prefer, you can choose to make just one of the versions; there’s absolutely no obligation to do both.
Happy crocheting!
