Squishy Turtle Toy

This big Squishy Turtle Toy is knitted in aran yarns, with a patchwork shell created from hexagon and half- hexagon shapes. This knitting pattern also incorporates i-cord, short row shaping and Kitchener stitch grafting. Designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, most pieces for the turtle are knitted in acrylic DK yarns on single pointed needles (not in the round), and shell trim is knitted i-cord worked on the two DPNs. For intermediate knitters and above, other techniques used include casting on and off, knits, purls, increases and decreases, and seaming to finish. Turtle is 37cm long (head to tail) x 37cm wide (from tips of flippers across) x 15cm tall.
