Squishy Turtle Toy

Introducing our delightful Squishy Turtle Toy Knitting Pattern, designed for knitting enthusiasts who love creating soft and cuddly toys. This charming turtle is expertly knitted using luxurious aran yarns, featuring an eye-catching patchwork shell crafted from a combination of hexagon and half-hexagon shapes. Our comprehensive knitting pattern not only guides you through creating this adorable turtle, but also teaches you essential techniques such as i-cord creation, short row shaping, and Kitchener stitch grafting—a perfect way to enhance your knitting skills!

Created by the talented Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, this pattern is suitable for intermediate knitters and above. Most components of the turtle are knitted using soft acrylic DK yarns on single pointed needles (not in the round), ensuring a smooth and enjoyable crafting experience. The textured shell trim is knitted in i-cord, worked seamlessly on two double-pointed needles (DPNs). Throughout the project, you will engage with various techniques, including casting on and off, creating knits and purls, performing increases and decreases, and mastering the art of seaming to give your Squishy Turtle a polished finish.

With dimensions of 37cm long (from head to tail), 37cm wide (spanning the tips of the flippers), and 15cm tall, this big Squishy Turtle Toy makes an excellent gift or a cherished addition to your toy collection. Grab your knitting needles and acrylic yarn, and dive into the fun of making your very own Squishy Turtle Toy!
