You Can Crochet A Turtle With A Removable Shell And I Need It In My Life

OMG!! You have to see this crocheted turtle! It is just about the cutest thing EVER to come across my computer, and I HAVE to have it.

Now, this is JUST the pattern, so you actually will have to make the little guy (gal?) yourself — or if you are like me, have someone else do if for you!

The skill level on this is “Intermediate,” and for good reason. You have to be familiar with a LOT of different crochet terminology.

MR – magic ring
sc – single crochet
dc – double crochet
inc – increase
dec – decrease
hdc – half double crochet
3-dc-bobble – bobble stitch
(12) – the number of sets in a row
(…)*n – repeat n times

She also has a video that you can use on YouTube, that shows how to connect the hexagons for the shell — because it can be kind of confusing.

Never fear, this PDF download comes with 46 detailed pages of instructions, that include 34 photos for help with step-by-step process.

The complete freakin’ cute turtle has a removable shell, and the little guy (gal?) stands 6 inches tall.

The PDF downloadable pattern runs $4.50, and you can get it right on the Toysneed page on Etsy.
