This is a simple crochet pattern for making a large turtle plushy with chunky yarn. Using 14ply / super bulky yarn and 6mm hook, you can have a squishy turtle toy in less than two hours!

You can also use three strands of 8 ply / DK yarn instead of 14 ply, as it can be tricky to source super bulky.
