Let’s crochet an adorable, palm-sized amigurumi sea turtle using basic stitches. Start by crocheting the top shell in the round, alternating between green and brown yarn to make the patterned design. Next, you crochet a solid brown belly panel, lightly stuff the shell with fiberfill, and connect the two pieces together.

Once the main body is complete, you will crochet four small flippers and a round head, folding the fin edges flat. Finally, you securely sew the appendages to the body and embroider sweet black eyes, pink rosy cheeks.
