Tina The Crochet Turtle
"You know what you totally need in life? A crochet turtle, that’s what! Introducing my newest little darling: Tina the Turtle. I’m kind of in love with this little sweetie. Inspired by my squat, little crochet pumpkin, I kept looking at it and thinking “YOU would make such an adorable, little turtle.” I even made her whole cute little crochet turtle body. Uhm.. YEARS ago. Years? Yeah.. I think so. And then my designer brain got stuck and she got tucked away! Fast forward and I figured out the perfect head and neck for this adorable two-for-one pattern. Make her as a cute amigurumi OR use as a darling pincushion! "
