Body
Crochet the Shell
- Use green yarn to make a magic circle.
- Chain 1, then single crochet 6 stitches into the circle.
- Pull the circle closed and chain 1 to start the next row.
- Single crochet in the first stitch, then increase in the next stitch (2 single crochets in the same stitch).
- Repeat the increase in every stitch around the row.
Continue this pattern, gradually increasing the amount of single crochets between increases as listed below:
- Row 6: 1 single crochet, 1 increase.
- Row 8: 1 single crochet, 1 increase, 2 single crochets.
- Row 10: 3 single crochets, 1 increase.
- Row 12: 4 single crochets, 1 increase. Repeat rows 12 and 13 one more time.
For the final rows, adjust the stitching pattern to gradually reduce the shell's opening:
- Row 20: 1 single crochet, skip 1 stitch, 1 single crochet.
- Row 22: Single crochet in every stitch around the row.
Fasten off and cut the yarn, leaving a tail for sewing. Sew the last row closed as instructed.
Then Crochet the Belly
- Use beige yarn to start the belly. Follow similar increase and decrease patterns as the shell, then stuff with cotton.
- Fasten off and cut the yarn, leaving a tail for sewing. Sew the opening closed.
Crochet the Legs
- Each leg is started with a magic circle in beige yarn, followed by rounds of single crochets.
- Repeat to make a total of 4 legs.
Crochet the Tail
Similar to the legs, start with a magic circle in beige yarn, but with slightly fewer stitches.
Assembly
- Sew the head to the neck of the shell, ensuring proper orientation.
- Attach the legs to the bottom of the shell evenly.
- Sew the tail to the back of the shell for balance and cuteness.
- Use black yarn to embroider the eyes for the finishing touch.
Attach the Keychain Ring
Finally, securely attach the keychain ring to the top of the turtle shell.
Congratulations! Your turtle keychain is now complete and ready to accompany you on your daily adventures or charm someone as a thoughtful handmade gift.
