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!

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! 🙂

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.
