Free crochet turtle pattern: a Leggy Turtle amigurumi, about 13 cm tall in DK yarn with a 2.5 mm hook. A green turtle with a dark green hexagon-plated shell, a round happy face with pink cheeks and a little w-shaped smile, and two very long thin legs ending in orange sneakers with white socks. You need about 105 m of yarn: 30 m light green, 20 m dark green, 25 m green, 10 m cream, 10 m orange, 5 m white and 5 m pink. Plan on roughly 4 hours. This is a good gift for turtle lovers and works as a quirky desk buddy. You can spin the 3D model and follow the round-by-round pattern.
