Thank you for the pattern! It’s bigger than I expected haha. But I used medium sized yarn and a 3.5 mm crochet hook. The turtle is about a little bigger than an average hand. 🤗
super fine 4ply is this fingering weight sport or dk?
Tonda
I cannot print this and working from my computer that way makes me sleepy where can I buy this
is there any patterns available for the other fruits?
I’m not understanding on the foreleg of the baby. 4 18sc in a magic ring. Where does that belong after you make it
okay, I was not prepared on how big it is, I thought it would be small, around the size of an apple but is definitely more a melon. Nevertheless I love it even more, because it is so big.
Thank you so much for providing the pattern, I had lots of fun making a melon turtle 🙂
What kind of yarn did you use? What kind of hook? Mine is definite;y about the size of an apple.
You have the best patterns. I love all of them.
Thank you, Grace!

Hi What type of yarn do you use
Hi Sandra 🙂 Fine 4 ply acrylic yarn 🙂
Thank you so much for sharing the pattern !! They are so adorable 🐢
Super cute! Thank you for sharing!
A wonderful pattern thanks alot.
But in the pattern of baby turtle, the fore legs; rnd 4 18 sc in a magic ring.
How it is done? I’m a little confused.
And thanks again
Great idea. Going to try tonight Thanks heaps
Hello! These are adorable! I wanted to know how large are they in centimetres? Thanks 😊
Hi Justyna, the size of crochet toys depends on your yarn and hook 🙂
Thanks so much for the free patterns. These are sooooo cute!! By the way, do you have a written pattern for the other fruits? I think that the raspberry one is super adorable. I would do it myself, but I just started making my own patterns.
Thank you for a great idea! 🙂
These are so cute! Thank you for this pattern!
Hello! I was wondering if we are allowed to sell items we make with this pattern? And if so is credit necessary? Thank you so much!

Where is the free pattern to download I don’t see where it says print.
Hi Jeanette 🙂 You can view the patterns for free on our website and mobile app. PDF version itself is not free. Because it takes a lot of time to prepare the patterns. So, in spite of this fact all people who can’t pay for PDF patterns can view them on the website and make wonderful toys. We don’t hide the instructions. Hope for your understanding 🙂
