TURTLE Amigurumi Crochet-Along!!

Welcome to the first Little Muggles Amigurumi Crochet Along!! This little turtle is fun, cute and simple to create!  This design is simple enough for beginners to make, but also has a lot of potential for the more seasoned amigurumist! (Think embellishments, shell patterns, etc…) For those who are not familiar with a Crochet Along, it is very simple.  Basically, any number of interested people can use this FREE pattern to “crochet along” with each other!   That is, you can share your progress with your fellow crocheters, ask questions, post pictures, basically just share your thoughts and your amigurumi making experience with everyone!   The most fun part is seeing everyone’s finished works!  Everyone is free to use whatever yarn colors, gauges, decorations, etc.. that he/she prefers!  Doesn’t this sound incredibly fun?  I encourage everyone to Crochet Along with me!

I have named my turtle Sheldon!  He is approximately 4.5 inches(12 cm) high and 6 inches (15cm) long.  He makes a cute little decoration for any room or a super unique and adorable gift for anyone of any age!!

There’s more!

As an added bonus to the fun, I have decided to enter everyone who submits a picture of their turtle into a random drawing at the close of this Crochet Along!  One winner will receive a FREE pattern of their choice from my Etsy shop!  Who can resist another cool amigurumi project, right?  The winner will be announced on my Facebook page!
