Assembly
Position the turtle parts on the upper shell, with the head facing the tail, front paws one on each side of the head, the hind paws one on each side of the tail. Sew the parts in the loops left over from row 9 at the top of the hull. Position the bottom of the hull, and sew in the same place where the head and limbs were sewn. Gradually add filling, until the hull becomes “fat” and very firm. Fasten and hide the thread. With wire in the same color as the hull, make a few stitches, fastening the head to the hull, so that it stands upright. Take care not to appear on the sides of the turtle… There are only about 3 or 4 little dots, just so that the little head doesn’t get slack or fall forward.

Fasten the thread and cut, leaving a long tip, with which pull off the remaining hole. Hide the tail of the thread inside the legs.

Design and assembly
Make a muzzle. First, make tightenings, focusing on the photo. For this mark with pins the location of the peephole (in the photo stitch 1 and 2), which are located between 12 and 13 side by side, the distance between the stitch is 8sc. Visually mark stitch 3 and 4 which are located on a distance of 1sc from stitch 1 and 2, respectively.

Insert a long needle and thread into the base of the head and bring it out into stitch 1. Then insert the needle into stitch 3 and bring to the base of the head. For strength can be repeated tightening one more time.

Do the same for the second eyes, but in this case from the base head, bring the needle out at stitch 2. Then insert the needle at stitch 4 and bring it back to the base. Pull the ends and tie a knot.

Sew on eyes in places of tightening – beads. Make white thread stitches around the peephole to look became more “alive”. Above embroider with black thread eyebrows, pink – cheeks (below eye level, between 14 and 15 nearby).

Pin the head to head.
Sew firmly in a circle, and when there will be a small hole add more filler between head and neck, then sew up to end.

Between 6 and 7 next to the torso mark the places where legs are located. Sew them on with using a thread fastener. In use the same as a thread yarn with which the body was crocheted.

Skirt
Attach a white thread and crochet for the front half loops of the 12th row. Crochet in a circle, each row starting with lifting loops and ending with sl-st.
Rnd 1: 3ch, inc from dc in each loop (84 dc)
Rnd 2-3: 3ch, 84 dc (84 dc)
Rnd 4: 1ch, 84sc (84sc)
Fasten the thread, cut off, hide the tip of the thread.

Between 20 and 21 side by side sew the handles symmetrically.
Sew on front for decoration. Decorative buttons.

Rnd 8-9: 42sc (2 rows)
Do not cut the thread, but continue crocheting.
Fold the two parts of the shell wrong side inward and connect, crocheting 42 sc. When there is a small hole left, put it inside filler, do not stuff too tightly. Continue crocheting and close hole to the end, do not cut the thread.

Dial a chain of 20 ch, count 10 sc on the shell and in the 11th sc attach the chain with a connecting post. Fasten the thread and cut off. From the first stitch (where they began to crochet a chain from ch) count 8sc and attach a new thread to this loop. Tie and attach the second strap in the same way.

Try on the shell on the back, it should hold well (if the shell dangles or, conversely, is difficult to put on, change the number of ch in straps).
Hide all the ends of the threads inside.

Assembly and decoration
We put the belly into the shell, fix it with markers, the first we fix the marker at the beginning of the shell row, from it it is necessary to count 13 columns in the opposite direction and attach the second edge of the belly to the 14th column.
Sew on the head. We begin to sew on the head from the front, while sewing the head along the back, we bend the top of the shell and sew the head to the crease from the bend.

We sew paws. We attach the upper paws with a thread fastening stepping down 1 row from the head.
For the lower legs, we retreat down 3-4 rows and sew them to the junction of the shell and tummy.

Note:

• I worked in continuous rounds (vs. joined rounds) unless otherwise indicated.
• Begin pieces with the Magic Circle and use the Invisible Decrease to minimize number of holes and bumps.
• Darker colour is stitched onto shell using Surface Crochet.  Learn how to Surface Crochet with Moogly’s helpful tutorial HERE!
• Choose any colours you like for the turtle shell: a lighter shade for the actual shell, and a darker shade for the surface crochet accents!

Adding Surface Crochet Detailing to Shell:
To add some detail and accents to the turtle shell, we will use  a technique called surface crochet with the darker green yarn.  Surface crochet is a way to add slip stitches onto the surface of a piece that gives a very clean look, and you can choose any direction you would like to crochet (it’s very free form as you could even stitch a letter or a design).  You can reference surface crochet using Moogly’s very helpful tutorial HERE if you would like to see surface crochet in action.  Follow the steps below:

1. Insert your crochet hook into the turtle shell where you would like to begin.
2. With the darker green yarn being underneath the shell, pull up a loop.
3. Insert your crochet hook back into the shell in the direction that you would like to surface crochet.
4. Pull up the darker green yarn from underneath the shell and continue to pull through the loop on the hook.  One stitch has been surface crocheted onto the shell!

Using darker green, surface crochet circle (between Rounds 6 and 7) and six lines onto shell.

WHITE TUBE
Using white yarn,
Chain 10, join with sl st to form ring (be careful not to twist the chain).
Round 1: Sc 10 around. (10 sts)
Rounds 2-68 or until desired length is achieved: Sc 10. (10 sts)
Stuff lightly as you go.  Fasten off and leave long end for sewing.

FINISHING
Stuff top shell gently so that bottom shell does not puff out when they are attached together.  Sew top shell onto bottom shell.Sew head onto front of shell and tail onto back of shell. Stuff arms and legs. Place arms on either side of head and sew onto shell. Place legs on either side of tail and sew onto shell.

Place white tube around shell and ontop of limbs, head and tail.  Rather than whip stitching around the entire tube, you can use several points of attachment to secure the white tube onto the shell.  Cut a strand of white yarn, insert it through the bottom of the turtle, through the bottom of the tube, and back down through the turtle (about one stitch away from point of first insertion) and tie several knots.  For our turtle, we used FIVE points of attachment to secure the white tube into place: in the head (which tags down two spots- see further explanation below), on both sides of the shell, and towards the tail (for this point we inserted the needle through the tube first, then the shell, and then back through the tube).

In order to make the white tube wrap around the head more snugly, tag the white tube down in two different locations through the head as shown below.Enjoy crocheting your own sweet turtles using your favourite colours!

Give them a variety of expressions and details such as eyelashes, smiles or even special letters or designs on the shell! Personalize your amigurumi to your heart’s content!
