Description:

This pattern is for a 6-inch turtle crocheted in James C Brett Flutterby chunky yarn. The turtle is made up of a shell, a body, a head, and four legs. The shell is crocheted in the round, and the body is crocheted in rows. The head and legs are crocheted separately and then sewn onto the body.

Size options:

The size of the turtle can be adjusted by changing the number of stitches and rows in the pattern. For example, to make a larger turtle, you would crochet more stitches and rows. To make a smaller turtle, you would crochet fewer stitches and rows.
