When made with crochet cotton thread and a #3 steel hook, your finished turtle will measure approximately 2.5″—just the right size for small embellishments.

Simple stitches and minimal shaping make this appliqué easy to complete in under an hour. It’s a great introduction to working with thread or fine yarn if you’ve never tried before.

Feel free to get creative with colors. Try bright greens for a playful look or go with earthy tones for a more natural vibe.

Sew your little turtle onto a project or add a pin back to make it a wearable brooch. However you choose to use it, this crochet turtle will add a unique and personal touch.

Make a bunch and keep them on hand to decorate gifts or finish off your next crochet project with a bit of whimsy.
