Meet your new favorite weekend project: the mini amigurumi turtle from DIY Fluffies. This low-sew turtle crochet pattern is a total game-changer if you usually dread the assembly phase of making toys. Since the limbs and shell are worked together, the only part you actually need to sew on is the head. You can go from a ball of yarn to a finished turtle in about two hours flat!
This low-sew turtle crochet pattern is a fantastic way to clear out your scrap yarn bin. If you stick with sport weight cotton, you will end up with a tiny 3-inch turtle that is perfect for a keychain. If you want something more “squishable,” you can easily swap in chunky chenille yarn for a jumbo version. Whether you are a total beginner following the video tutorial below or a pro looking for a quick win, this little turtle is a fun, rewarding project that makes an amazing last-minute gift.
