Product Description
It’s time to celebrate, and Toby the Birthday Turtle is the best guest you could ask for! Although a bit slow, Toby will never be late for your birthday, he will bring balloons to make you smile, and a delicious cake, safe for all animals. Do you want Toby to join your party?!
The pattern is written in U.S. terminology and contains step-by-step pictures. The main part of this project is worked in rounds so you might want to use a stitch marker to mark the end of each round. There is no specific gauge for this project, just try to keep it tight and even throughout each piece. All pieces are made in Paintbox Yarns Simply Aran yarn, but any similar Aran weight yarn will work. This project is worked with a 3mm crochet hook and uses 6mm safety eyes.
