Little turtle free crochet pattern

 LITTLE TURTLE FREE CROCHET PATTERN

Also available on Ravelry 

This pattern is designed for begginers. Its very easy and FREE! I used 3mm hook, but i think i will also make obe with 7mm, just for fun. I used lanoso alara yarn. It uses minimal amount, its super for using up your scraps.

Materials:
Yarn( i used lanoso alara)
Hook (i used 3mm)
Safety eyes (i used 10mm, but i am sure that smaller would also be perfect) 
Filling 
Needle 

Stitches :
MR: magic ring 
sc: single crochet 
Inc: increase 
Dec: decrease 

So, here it is:
(first we make a circle that will be the bottom of our turtle) 
R1: in MR 6sc 
R2 :inc all around (12)
R3: sc inc all around (18)
R4: sc2 inc all around (24)
R5: sc3 inc all around (30)
R6: sc4 inc all around (36) 
Fasten off 
(now we make the top of our turtle, i used brown yarn, but i also find very cute when the turtle has watermelon or pumpkin on her body) 
R1-R6 : repeat first 6 rows from the bottom of your turtle 
R8-R9: sc all around
Now, lay it over the white circle and sc 35 to connect two pieces. Use needle to sew the last stitch 

Head: 
R1: in MR 6sc 
R2 : inc all around (12)
R3 :sc inc all around (18)
R4 :sc2 inc all around (24)
R5 - R10: sc all around 
      Place safety eyes between R5 and R6, 6 or 7 sts apart, I did 7, but it's up to you. Make it as you find it cuter. Stuff the head well
R11: sc2 dec all around (18)
R12: sc dec all around (12)
R13: dec all around (6)
Use a needle to sew the hole sew to the body. 


Forelegs: (make two) 
R1: in MR sc 6 
R2: inc all around (12)
R3 : sc inc all around (18)
R4: sc2 inc all around (24) 
FO and leave a long tail for sewing
Fold in half and sew along. Sew on a turtle. 

Hind legs: (make two) 
R1: in MR sc 6 
R2: inc all around (12)
R3 : sc inc all around (18)
FO and leave a long tail for sewing
Fold in half and sew along. Sew on a turtle. 
I find it very cute when my toys have big eyes and heads. But, as you have seen, it's all about circles. You can add a few extra rows to each part, to make a full grown turtle. 
You can send me your crafts, or report a problem with the pattern in the comments, or on the Ravelry.


Have a nice day! ❤️

  LITTLE ELEPHANT  FREE   PATTERN  This pattern makes a 5th pattern in my series “little buddies”. So far, it is the most detailed and best formatted pattern of mine. As a doll, this baby can be done in less than an hour, just like all of the other buddies. They are collectable little dolls everyone loves. Small children will love them, they will hold them in their little hands, just like toddlers, who can play with all of them at once, this doll can help their imagination. Maybe is a zoo, or a happy family? Let them think of it. Also, teenagers will love them becouse they are small and can be used as a key chain. Adults will aaprecciate your work. Once you make it, they are a friend for a whole life. I use them when i forget to buy a present, but i have some yarn☺ Skill level: ♥♡♡♡♡ ( beginner )  Out of materials and tolls you will need:     • Crochet hook 3mm    • 6mm safety eyes ( but you could also embroider eyes )    • Yarn ( I used lanoso alara) 50%cotton 50%acrylic  50g=140m C:9

small crochet doll pattern

SMALL CROCHET DOLL This project is starting from a magic ring and its (almost) all one piece. Hands are made separately. I like my projects to be all one piece because then i have less sewing to do. Also, it makes it a lot easier. And i used two types of yarn. Thicker for the body and thinner for the outfit.    I would not recommend this project to beginners! So here it is: MR- Magic ring sl st- slip stitch sc- single crochet  dc - double crochet inc- increase dec- decrease icord - icord ch - chain You will need : 3mm crochet hook  Pink yarn (for the body)  Brown(or black, yellow,...) yarn for the hair 2mm crochet hook Pink and blue yarn (for outfit)  Thread (to embroider the face)  Needle  *You can use different types of yarn, but then your doll will be different size.  Body: (dimensions : 14cmx4,5cm)  R1: in MR - sc 6 (6) R1: inc all around (12) R2: sc inc all around (18)  R3: sc2 inc all around (24)  R4-R11: sc all around (24)  R12: sc2 dec all around (18) R13:sc dec all around (12)
