A free amigurumi pattern for a crochet turtle with a red toadstool shell and white spots. This little turtle plushie has sleepy stitched smiling eyes, rosy cheeks, mint legs and a cream scalloped skirt under the cap rim for a cottagecore look. It is worked in the round in single crochet with DK yarn and a 2.5 mm hook, ends up about 8.5 cm (3.3 in) tall, and has a fully embroidered face; the spots are flat circles sewn onto the shell. Follow it row by row with stitch counts and turn the interactive 3D model to see where every piece goes.
