I have been crocheting for many years and this is my favourite turtle pattern. I have made 6 so far and I love the no sew aspect!

[@iran6124]

First time making a plushy with no mistakes 😄 he came out so cute

[@Mastersplinterplaysmw2]

I made 2 for my granddaughters - can't wait for them to receive them. This was an excellent tutorial with very clear instructions. Thank You

[@NayMoe80]

This is the most ADORABLE thing! I have seen many on KZbin. This one is my favorite. I'm falling along in hopes that my daughter loves my first attempt.

[@UR_FAV_ISABELLA719]

OH MY DAYS! THIS IS AMAZING! At first, i thought it would be one of those annoying skip ahead tutorials BUT NO! You took each step slowly and amazingly described in detail! THANK YOU SO MUCH! XX

You are so welcome!

[@jenniferthompson1875]

Just made this for the third time!! Your instructions are so easy to follow! Thank you thank you for sharing with us 🐢🧶🐢

[@genevieveramirez596]

I made several. so cute, soft and adorable. I had to re- make the heads because the safety eyes pull off easily. I used the cloth you use in your tutorial. By the way, it's called aida cloth. It's used for cross stitch. I used the 14 count. I recommend everyone not to skip this step. Thank you for a great project...❤

[@teonniehouston1248]

Thank you for the tip!

[@anutaa-xj9mz]

Thank you a lot for this incredible tutorial😍!! i hate sewing the different parts of bodies in crochet toys, so this type of attaching needed parts is just perfect to me♥️

[@kimethaturner152]

There’s so many pretty things here. I love watching and listening to

I wish I knew how to send pictures they are adorable. I put bows and flowers on some of them and my special sign is That I place a heart on the front fin. I anoint them prayer over them to bring love and healing exct.

I made one for my foster cousin and it came out AMAZING!!! thank you!!

[@Natkater]

Thanks for this pattern, it is so cute 😍 I just made a little adjustment. I attached the legs the oposite way based on the non stiched side looking like a joint of a real live turtle and it looks a bit better in my opinion.

[@nicoleandreafortoulaguilar8932]

i have to admit, this is a really cute and easy tutorial that saved my day, i was knitting a lil' fox dude (who i lost hope in lmao-) and was pretty drained by him yet haven't finished him, so i looked for a turtle and fred came to save my day with his cute silly face, though i had to do two of his feet smaller bc i was playing chicken with the yarn lmao, thx for the tutorial!!

[@kk_transformation]

thank you so much. this is the cutest thing I've made EVER. thanks

You are awesome teacher. Fantastic video!

[@CJDesignblog]

Thank you! 😃

[@aaarslanbek]

I really liked the pattern and enjoy making it! Thank you for making it. I only want to mention that I think it looks better if you sew the flippers a bit more that it will look more like a sea turtle. Because the front flippers points towards forward which supposed to be sides and the back flippers points towards sides which supposed to be back.

[@deannthomas6142]

Wow super cute I’m inspired to make some turtles. Thank You for sharing.
