A No Sew Turtle Crochet Pattern

This no sew turtle crochet pattern uses crochet-based joining to assemble the head, base, feet, and shell.

Instead of separately sewing all four legs onto the body, the feet are formed as bobble stitches while crocheting the base. The shell is then crocheted to the base, with stuffing added as you work.

The little tail is created directly on the finished turtle.

Finished Turtle Size

Using the recommended supplies, the approximate dimensions are:

• Length: 11 cm
• Width: 8 cm
• Height: 5 cm

Finished measurements may vary depending on your yarn, hook size, and tension.

Make Your Own Colorful Turtle

Personalize your handmade turtle by selecting a shell color you love.

A pastel pink turtle makes a sweet addition to an amigurumi collection, while blue, peach, or green yarn can create a different look using the same basic pattern.
