[@crochetbygenna]

aww thank you!!

[@WalkandCrochet]

Love this!😊😊

[@crochetbygenna]

thanks so much!

[@MrsAwesomdary]

For the fins, why can't I just flip the fin around? seeing as we fold it like a taco, won't front and back be exactly the same?

[@crochetbygenna]

so you can, but when you crochet the fin closed it creates an outline and the outline will be on the bottom if you flip the fin around. But its personal preference :) you can do it like that if you want!

[@meganj1411]

It's because the edges of the fins won't look the same when you sew them on. The stitches will be upside down for the second fin and it will affect the symmetry of the design. You can't see it on the video very well, but the little "V's" the stitches create will only be visible on one side. So basically it's for aesthetic purposes more than anything.

[@MissEvaCrochet25]

I ❤ this pattern

[@crochetbygenna]

omg yay! thanks so much

I love this tutorial I have already made 3!!!!!!😊😊

[@artwithavery416]

You are so good at crocheting! This summer I’m going to try make this adorable turtle! I have one question though… how many balls of yarn do you need of each colour?

[@tatianal.2565]

Hello! I love your videos, you’ve inspired me to start crocheting. I was wondering if you used the yarn over or under method when making plushes?

[@nikkyd6282]

[@user-od4tl9gg1w]

Genna, I just watched your other video from 3 months ago on how to design crochet patterns, and I was wondering that if in the future, you could make a video on how to take professional pictures of your crochet? I’m so bad at taking pictures 😂😭😭 however I’ve seen the pictures on your website and I’m so jealous. Do you have any tips or advice?

[@user-qk1kq1ck2m]

[@MissH1982]

Hi Genna, hope you're having a great day! I've been trying to make your human size turtle but unfortunately the head is a lot smaller than yours and i even used parfait xl (I bought 4 skeins for the body, is that enough) 😔 I was wanting to know, do you keep a loose tension? Or any tips you could give? I'm pretty sure I followed the video correctly, maybe my tension is too tight 🤧 thank you ❤

[@crochetbygenna]

Hi there! Aww no, I feel like overtime my tension got tighter, but sometimes if I want loose tension I really just have to pay attention and force myself to loosen up. Hopefully this helps

[@ccbeads]

So excited to make it!! If l do should l tag u?💓
