Tortelleo the Sea Turtle
This is an easy pattern that can look more advanced than it is with its fringe around its shell and the head that looks out from under the shell. But it is just an illusion, it uses only basic stitches! The pattern has some images for guidance in the crocheting part and a step-by-step picture guided approach for the assembly. It also includes a concise text-based printer friendly version.
Skill level:
Easy
Approximate size is 3 cm high, 12.5 cm long and 10 cm wide, which varies based on yarn weight, hook size and the tightness of the stitches.
Techniques used:
Magic ring
Single crochet
Chain stitch
Increase
Decrease
Invisible ending
There are two versions of the pattern, one in English with U.S. terminology and one in Swedish.
The pattern includes an easy-to-print section with few pictures.
You will also get a compendium with descriptions and step-by-step pictures of the techniques involved and tips and tricks if you are a beginner (also two versions, English and Swedish).
Materials needed:
- 16 g lighter colour DK weight yarn for body, head and flippers (I used yellow/ light brown)
- 9 g darker colour DK weight yarn for shell (I used grey/ purple)
- Thin yarn for eyes, or safety eyes if you prefer that (I used mercerized cotton yarn, 670 m by 100 g, black and white)
- Stuffing
- 2.25 mm hook
- If crocheted eyes, 1.5 mm hook
- Darning needle
- Sewing needle to attach the eyes
I have used cotton yarn (125 m by 50 g) for the brown/purple turtle and acrylic yarn (130 m by 50 g) for the yellow/grey turtle. If you use another yarn, make sure to change crochet hook accordingly.
