This goes with the ladybug, and the snail. This starts off the same as the others.

He is 4 inches long from head to tail, a bit less than 3 inches wide, and whopping 1 14/ inches tall!:manyheart

I call the pattern set the Itty-bittys... WARNING! None of these has been tested! If you do find any errors, let me know so I can correct them.

This is the tricky part.

I found it easiest if I pinned the turtle together minus the tail before sewing.

Starting at one of back legs, sew turtle together going from back leg, to front leg, to head, to other front leg, to last back leg. Stop here to stuff, pin tail into place and sew turtle shut.

Glue or sew on eyes.

Yes, it was very easy to follow (but you might want to check the directions for the legs again- the beginning note for it says not to join but the row directions say to join.)

 

I also tacked the parts on instead of pinning, just worked easier for me with the tiny size of everything and my big hands... and I stuffed it with the yarn bits left over from constructing it.

 

Let me see if I can find the cord for the camera... LOL
