Patrones Tortugas

¡¡Buenos días!!

Hacia mucho tiempo que buscaba un patrón diferente de tortugas, al fin lo encontré. Lo cuelgo aquí ya que se que hay mucha gente que también lo esta buscando.

Me gustan, por ser diferentes, por poder ir cambiando de color, por muchas cosas más. Si os gustan y no sabéis hacerlas, yo las vendo a 8€ cada una. Si las tengo que mandar se tiene que contar los gastos de envió.

Espero que os guste.

Otro patron de tortuga.

Shape the face by pinching the nose area together, once you are happy with the look  insert the same color yarn you used for the head and weave back and forth from one eye area to the other eye area then knot the yarn off inside the head cavity to hold the shape. If you use safety eyes you can also put those in now. See pictures

9-13) 1sc in each for 5 rows (9) sl st into next st and finish off. Leave long tail for sewing  TIP *** stuff the foot only to give it shape, if you over stuff the foot it will look like a ball instead of a foot. No need to stuff the legs You can add toes by inserting brown yarn as pictured and just as you would make a whip stitch, stitch in some toes. Once done, bring the yarn tail back through the foot and out the same hole you went into. Knot the tails off, and hide knot inside foot.

ARMS:
1) magic circle with 6 st (6)
2) 2sc in each st     (12)
3-4) 1sc in each st for 2 rows  (12)
5) 2tog 3 times, 1sc in last 6st (9)

7-10) 1sc in each st for 4 rows. No need to stuff arms. sl st into next st and finish off, leave long tail for sewing. Sew to body just under the head OR if you make a turtle with a neck, sew the arms a bit lower than the head. See photos for reference
OUTER SHELL:
1) magic circle with 6st (6)

2) 2sc in each st           (12)

3) 1sc in next st,   2sc in next st    (18)

4) 1sc in next 2st, 2sc in next st     (24)

5-6) 1sc in each st for 2 rows   (24)

7) sl st into next st and finish off
INNER SHELL:
1) magic circle with 6st (6)

2) 2sc in each st           (12)

3) 1sc in next st,   2sc in next st    (18)
4) 1sc in next 2st, 2sc in next st     (24)
5) sl st into next st and finish off leaving a long tail for sewing place the inner piece inside the outer and sew them together as pictured. Just before you sew the hole closed stuff the shell

You can add a rim to the shell with an alternate color by inserting the yarn as pictured and crocheting around the shell edge twice. There's no stitch count, just crochet as close together and neatly as you can for the 1st row. The 2nd row you will have actual stitches to crochet into. see photos

FRONT PIECE OVER TUMMY: use same color you used to make the rim around the shell

1) magic circle with 6st (6)

2) 2sc in each st           (12)

3) 1sc in next st,   2sc in next st    (18)

4) 1sc in next 2st, 2sc in next st     (24)
5) sl st into next st and finish off. Weave yarn tail around the edge to hide it

make 4 chains that will hold your shell and tummy piece together. Hold the tummy and shell in place to see what length of chains you need. Sew the bottom chains on first, put the turtle inside the shell, then sew in the top chains as pictured. Once you have the whole thing together you can also sew the shell and tummy piece right to the body of the turtle to make sure it's all firmly in place. I would do this if your turtle is going to a small child.

Now for that cute smile! Pinch the bottom of the face together just as you did for the nose area. Once you are happy with the cheek size, insert yarn through the back of the head and out through one cheek, weave through to the other cheek and back out the same hole you went into. Pull the yarn tails until you have the shape you want. knot the tails off and hide them inside the head. I used black embroidery thread and make the actual smile, inserting the thread just as I did for the cheeks.
