Meet Baby T the Turtle/Tortoise - this sweet little crochet turtle is the perfect small size, but not too small. This stuffie works up super quick - less than 4 hours for me - and uses a few small scrap balls of yarn in greens and browns.

Materials:
Hook: Size G/4mm hook
Yarn: I had a “mad” pile of Caron Cake Pistachio Fudge yarn that I used for this project. In my opinion, this is the perfect turtle yarn! You get greens and browns all in one in the perfect shades. But, if you don’t have this cake or can’t get it, pick some scrap ball of browns and greens because you will need only the smallest bit of yarn.
-Safety Eyes or buttons (or yarn to embroider if you choose) and needle to embroider face. My safety eyes are these: https://amzn.to/2xxdcYb
If you can’t get these try to use a slit/cat/reptile eye in green/yellow if you are not going to embroider them.
-Stuffing. I have used Poly-Fill brand stuffing, but feel free to use what you prefer.

This toy worked up for me to be 8” from the top of the head to tail. If you like this pattern, I have several new baby animals listed.

Baby T is a written out pattern with photos and tutorials and a good beginner crochet pattern. It is a 6-page downloadable pdf. If you love this pattern, I have a bunch of baby animals and some are free downloads.

If you have amigurumi knowledge and know how to work in the round - ex. 6,12,18,24 etc with increases and decreases you won’t have any trouble.

I use US Crochet terms in my patterns.

Thank you for choosing my pattern. XOXO, Kristi at The Burgundy Basket.

I am here all to help and support you in any way I can after you download my pattern.
