Tina Turtle – African Flower Turtle Pincushion Pattern

Tina Turtle

Pinned

Norsk versjon av oppskriften ∠ᰠnner du på Tusenideer.no Start o making two «African Flower hexagons» . There are already several tutorials (and even youtube-videos) explaining this, I would recommend HeidiBears tutorial if you haven’t tried making one before as it is very throughout. Make one hexagon using several colors (of your choice) and one unicolor (this is going to be the bottom of the turtle), so I picked a rather light color -pink. And – make two rows of dc. You should be familiar with most basic crochet techniques. And also the «magic ring». Inc=invisible increase Dec=invisible decrease

For explanation on how to do the invisible decrease/increase (and other useful tips) please check out this page on Amigurumi basics. SIZE: The turtle measure approx. 15 cm from head to back when used a 2.5 mm hook (and schachenmayr SMC Catania yarn; 50g=125m)

Where to place eyes

 – HEAD Start making a magic ring (=MR) 1. 6 sc in the ring 2. inc x 6 (12) 3. sc12 (12) 4. (sc, inc) x 6 (18) 5. (2sc, inc) x 6 (24) 6.-8. 24sc  (24) 9. (2sc, dec) x 6 (18) 10.-11. 18sc  (18)

12. (sc, dec) x 6 (12) Attach safety eyes (I used black 6mm) and start lling 13.-16. sc 12 Add more stu ng if necessary, but not too much. Flatten ends and crochet/stitch together. Weave in ends.  – FRONT LEGS (make 2) 1. 6 sc in MR 2. inc x 6 (12) 3. (sc, inc) x 6 (18) 4.-6.  18sc(18) 7. dec x4,  10sc (14) 8. 14sc (14) 9. 2sc, decx2, sc8 (12) 10.-12. 12sc (12) Add a little bit of stu ng, atten ends and crochet/stitch together. Weave in ends.  – BACK LEGS (make 2) 1. 6 sc in MR 2. inc x 6 (12) 3. (sc, inc) x 6 (18) 4. 18sc (18) 5. (dec, 7sc) x 2 (16) 6. (dec, 6sc) x2 (14) 7.-8. 14sc (14) Add some stu ng

9. (dec, 5sc) x 2 (12) 10. (dec, 4sc) x 2 (10) 11.-12. 10sc (10) Flatten ends and crochet/stitch together. Weave in ends.

Using needle and pink yarn attachhead and legs together to the pink african 㤠☠ower. This is how I placed my head/legs.

 – «BODY/SQUARES» (make 2) This is going to be «the stu ng» of the turtle, and only the edge will be visible when you’re done with your turtle. Normally I like to spread increases when making a circle, but for this it’s ok – even preferable to increase in the beginning of each round as it will resemble more of a hexagon shape. 1. sc 6 in MR (6) 2. incx6 (12) 3. (inc, sc)x6 (18) 4. (inc, sc2)x6 (24) 5. (inc, sc3)x6 (30) 6. (inc, sc4)x6 (36) 7. (inc, sc5)x6 (42) 8. (inc, sc6)x6 (48)

9. (inc, sc7)x6 (54) 10. (inc, sc8)x6 (60) 11. (inc, sc9)x6 (66)

It looks more like a hexagon when you increase at same site every round

Put the two square/hexagons on top of eachother and crochet together

Remember to ∠ᰠll before you complete the round.

When you have completed the round (and remembered to ll before you closed) crochet another round sc in every st. Place the body over the bottom and crochet together

Attach body to bottom

Hook through both blue and pink st as seen below. Yo, pull through. Sc through only blue loops above head/legs.

Attach body to bottom

Body is now attachet to the bottom.

Do not cut thread yet. Through back loops only (blue st) crochet «2ch, sc» in every st. Now fasten o , and weave in. Now we’re going to make the shell.

Hook through bottom of dc on back side of 㤠☠ower

Pick up the multicolored ower you made earlier. Turn the ower. Hook through bottom of the last round of dc. Using same color (in my case – green) attach thread with a sl st, then sc all the way around. Do this until you’ve made 4 rounds of sc. The next (5th) round increase corresponding to every hexagon angel (a total of 6).

Completed one round of sc

Now we’re going to attach the shell to the rest of the turtle. Put the shell on top of the turtle bottom/body. Hook through both loops last round of shell and through front loops of body (blue) and sc all the way around.

How to attach

  Finally add the shell edge; 5dc in 2nd ch from hook, skip 1 st, sl st in next, skip 1 st, 5dc in next, skip 1 st, sl st … and continue in the same pattern all the way. You may have to do some minor adjustments (skip 2 st at some point) because the numbers probably don’t add up 100%, but there shouldn’t be any major trouble. Weave in all loose ends and you’re done!

How to do the edge

You’re done!

Thank you. You don’t need too much sewing skills to make this. You only have to attach a few pieces using thread (yarn) and I use a rather big needle. It’s almost just like weaving in ends. (but you might might not need a pincushion if you never sew, but if you crochet you probably have a needle or two to weave in ends, so a pincushion is perfect. I didn’t have one before I made this, and now I always know where my needles are )

My mom actually made something similar to this as a rattle for my youngest daughter when she was born. This was almost 40 years ago.

Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful pattern. It is so nicely designed with details that give a high quality product. Love the layers, the internal pouch, and the edging of the shell and the body. I modi ed 2 things, in photo it looked like legs and head attached to right side of belly, but I attached to wrong side. Also I didn’t do 5 rounds of picked up sc on shell, just did 2 so that it didn’t get so much larger than body. It turned out like your photo, so I may have picked stitches up incorrectly. Thanks again!
