Free crochet turtle pattern: a Turtle with Mushroom Shell amigurumi, about 8 cm tall in DK yarn with a 2.5 mm hook. A mint-green turtle with a happy closed-eye smile and rosy cheeks, carrying a red toadstool shell with white spots and a ruffled cream underside. You need about 110 m of yarn: 35 m red, 35 m mint green, 20 m cream, 15 m white and 5 m blush pink. Plan on roughly 4 hours. A woodland-style gift for mushroom and turtle lovers, or a nursery shelf decoration that sits steadily on its flat belly. You can spin the 3D model and follow the round-by-round pattern.
