This adorable little sea turtle was left stranded on the beach, but he would love to make his way into your home!

Stuff you need:

• Any hook will do, but I used an F (3.75mm) hook to make a turtle roughly 9 x 7.5 inches
• Worsted weight yarn (much less than a full skein; scrap yarn should do) in 2-6 colors of your choice
• Eyes (buttons, safety eyes, embroidery, what-have-you); I used 16mm black buttons
• Stuffing (like Polyfil)
• Yarn needle

Things you need to know:

• How to make and crochet in a magic circle
• How to single, double, and half double crochet, chain, and slip stitch (American terms)

This pattern includes two PDFs: the first an eleven-page pattern with very detailed instructions and a few photographs, the second a two-page pattern written in shorthand crochet terms only so that you can print it off and take it on the go without wasting space!
