Simple-Shell Tortoise, Turtle & Terrapin EXPANSION PACK crochet pattern

Simple-Shell Tortoise, Turtle & Terrapin is an original EXPANSION PACK for the Tortoise crochet pattern by June Gilbank. This is a pattern add-on, not a complete pattern.

What is an Expansion Pack? An Expansion Pack is an add-on to an existing PlanetJune pattern. It lets you modify or add to the original pattern to create something else. You cannot use an Expansion Pack alone - you must also purchase the original pattern to make the pictured items.

This Expansion Pack includes all the modifications required to crochet a Tortoise (blunt nose) or freshwater Turtle or Terrapin (pointed nose) much more quickly than the original Tortoise, with a plain or decorative one-piece upper shell, and a same- or different-coloured lower shell. Mix-and-match between all the options! You will also need the Tortoise pattern.

Yarn: worsted weight yarn in two to four colours (brown, tan, beige, orange, green, black etc for a realistic tortoise/turtle/terrapin, or any other colours you like).

Hook: E US/3.5mm

Size: approx 8.5" (21.5cm) long

Eyes: 9mm

Tip: Don't have the Tortoise pattern yet? Take advantage of the savings when you buy the Tortoise multipack instead!
