A4 PDF: materials, every round with a tick box, assembly and face

A free crochet strawberry turtle pattern for a mint-green turtle carrying a plump red strawberry on its back. This amigurumi turtle has a shell dotted with little yellow seeds, a leafy green calyx and stalk on top, shiny eyes and pink cheeks. It is worked in the round in single crochet with DK yarn and a 2.5 mm hook, stands about 9.3 cm (3.7 in) tall, and the head, flippers, tail and leaves are sewn onto the shell. Follow it row by row with stitch counts and turn the interactive 3D model to see where every piece goes.

How to crochet the Strawberry Shell Turtle

Intermediate · 9 cm tall · about 3 h · DK yarn · 2.5 mm hook

  1. Crochet the 16 pieces in rounds: Strawberry shell (Ober- und Unterseite in einem Teil), Calyx leaf ×6, Stalk, Kopf, Bein ×4, Schwanz, Wange ×2 (66 rounds in all).
  2. Stuff and put it together in 11 steps; each one lights up where it goes on the 3D model.
  3. Add the face: safety eyes by round and stitch, or embroider them for a child under 3.

Every round with its stitch count is in the Pattern tab below, and in the free printable PDF.
