[@mandashastri649]

Lovely....good idea you put the written pattern in the corner of video...thanks

[@ShinyCrochet]

Thanks! I often see people struggling to understand written patterns or being daunted by the process. I'm hoping this helps break down how to read them. 😊

[@summerbethie1217]

this is really really cute

[@ShinyCrochet]

Thanks so much, I'm glad you like it!! 😁

[@kyliepowell7109]

Awesome tutorial, I’ll be making these for my turtle loving friends :)

[@darciderci942]

Adorei sua tartaruguunha. Já comecei fazer Vou fazer dose duas com as duas primeiras carteiras de cada cor e o restante beje pra brigadeiras das crianças.

[@isabellademico5090]

i’m just confused about why once i have done the slip stitch and the chain one i end up with 32 stitches please help x

[@ShinyCrochet]

I'm not sure what step you're on for this happening, but you may be counting the slip stitch space as a stitch? That loop and where it connects is just for setup/changing rows, so you don't count it. I hope that helps?

[@trudystephens8793]

"Squooshed": Technical crochet terminology

[@ShinyCrochet]

Cale was listening to me when I was recording and told me I wasn't allowed to cut it out. Haha.

[@fishingfourme]

Hi Shiny, bit confused on yarn size, 8 ply? Would this be US Worcester? DK UNited Kingdom? The last time I tried to work this out I had to wrap around a ruler to see how many wraps I got. Thanks Bob…

[@ShinyCrochet]

Hi, 8 ply is also known as DK. You may need to size up or down your hook depending on the particular brand as each yarn can work up differently. This pattern is pretty flexible though, just check it once you have finished all the increases.

[@bethquinton5414]

How do I use this pattern but make it bigger

[@ShinyCrochet]

Hi Beth, it depends on how much bigger you want it. Using thicker yarn / two strands of 8 ply with a larger hook makes it larger. Otherwise, you can do more rounds of increases for each part, keeping the pieces to scale with each other. I've been started working on a pattern for a jumbo turtle, but it's slow going right now and will still be a little while before it's a video.

[@ShinyCrochet]

Hi Beth, I have a new video now available for a larger turtle if you are still looking for one. :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJjMgINnqN6FmZI

[@missnobody6165]

Pls have more crochet videos

[@ShinyCrochet]

I am working on some more, they just take a lot of time and energy which I have been short on for a few months now. They will come, but slowly for now.

[@lindagreer5018]

Will make it but the yarn is sold out now

[@ShinyCrochet]

Hi Linda, any 8ply yarn will do the trick. ^_^

[@rosemary4142]

Hola!! Hace poco encontré tu canal, me ha gustado mucho como vas explicando la labor y se ve genial👍🏼 Aunque lo entiendo bastante bien, soy española y hay cosas que no las acabo de pillar, habría alguna manera de poder ponerle subtítulos en español o algo similar, Gracias, te felicito por tu trabajo 👌🏼☺️🙋🏼‍♀️

[@ShinyCrochet]

Thank you for your kind comment. Google translated roughly, unfortunately I don't have a way to translate to Spanish at this time. If anyone is available to help, I am happy for subtitles to be added to my videos. 💕

[@rosemary4142]

Gracias por tu interés, y por compartir. 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙋🏼‍♀️

[@DRmakeupgirl]

You didn't include ch 1 in the written instructions to start each round. I'm new to amigurumi. This will be my first project. I'm one of those crocheters who are dependent on a written pattern even though your video is very well done.

[@ShinyCrochet]

Hi there, I do have some variance between the written and video patterns, as they were made at very different times. The written pattern was very short hand, expecting the reader to have a level of experience, while the video was directed to more of a beginner.

[@DRmakeupgirl]

@@ShinyCrochet I have zero experience when it comes to amigurumi but I had watched a couple other videos before finding yours and they're was a ch1. I did rewind the video and heard you say as I read the cc to ch1. So it was an error on my part I guess. I do have a question about the stuffing though....would cotton balls work the same for stuffing?

[@ShinyCrochet]

Ah, fair enough. :) For stuffing, you can use pretty much anything. Trial and error will be your best bet with whether something works or not, because your idea of what works may be different to someone else's. My only worry with cotton balls would be they would be ruined by washing. So if it's something that won't be washed, that'll be fine, but if it is then good be mindful of. You may find it helps to pull them apart a bit too, otherwise it may be lumpy. But as always, trial and see how it goes.

[@DRmakeupgirl]

@@ShinyCrochet I'm making the turtles for a baby mobile (another thing I'm new at). Hadn't thought of washing them. Do you wash things like that?

[@ShinyCrochet]

I have no idea 😅 I would suggest getting a small bag if polyfill stuffing (or sacrificing an old stuffy) in that case, just to be safe.

omg, are you from Australia? I can't tell

[@ShinyCrochet]

Gosh, and here I was trying hard to lean into it. I'll work on it more for next time. ;) To be honest I was just using my "phone voice" as much as possible from being Helpdesk. :P

[@Lucy65]

Nice job ... I liked it a lot and I stay here in your little house and I invite you to mine ... blessings!!

[@ShinyCrochet]

Hi Tina, I'm sorry to hear; is there a particular area it is too fast? If it helps, on the browser version you can slow the video speed in the options.

[@tinaanderson3218]

Shiny Crochet it’s all good. I was able to follow and finish. Thanks for your response!! Great tutorial
