And now I am about to show you more pattern photos...
Today I finished my turtle pattern. He was a fun knit, completely knitted in the round in the magic loop technique. I knitted him in a handspun yarn on size 4mm circular needles. He has a small turtle tail too:) I knitted the shell in such a way as to create visual texture... and that's it... so without further ado, here he is...
His pattern is avaliable in my shop.
Thanks so much for stopping by, see you tomorrow for Creative Friday,

Oh, gracious!! Are you sure you're not Japanese? He's WoNDERFUL. The texture you've achieved on his back. Really, little girl - what a gift!
ReplyDeleteoh he is so cute! I have "real" turtles (red-eared sliders) and a small collection of turtle models, compliments of my children :-)
ReplyDeleteHow cute!!! Each pattern is cuter than the one before. In the pattern do you explain the magic loop technique? Thanks for sharing yet another wonderful critter from your menagerie.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much K and Julze:)
ReplyDeleteThanks Valarie, I don't explain the magic loop in my patterns. There are so many wonderful tutorials out there on the internet, but I think I will put together a tutorial soon on my blog:)

He is really cute. Liz loves turtles and is designing her knighting ceremony shield to include a turtle. I might try to knit one as a gift for the big event.
ReplyDeleteHello Linda! Your turtle is the best! It's so qute and beautiful! I can imagine it on the sandy beach here in Crete with the 'Careta Careta' turtles! Have a lovely weekend! Teje
