Sound Familiar?
Most amigurumi patterns are worked in fine yarn and take dozens of hours to reach a decent size, so an oversized, huggable version of anything usually means writing your own pattern from scratch.
The Solution
This turtle is written specifically for bulky yarn and a large hook, so the same stitch counts that make a small amigurumi in worsted weight turn into a genuinely huggable, over-a-foot-long turtle here - no math or adapting required.
About This Pattern
This chunky sea turtle is worked entirely in bulky yarn with a domed contrast shell, sized to be genuinely huggable rather than just a shelf decoration. Because the stitch counts are written for thick yarn and a large hook, it works up in a fraction of the time a standard amigurumi this size would take.
- Tech-edited PDF pattern (US terms)
- Video tutorial included
- Step-by-step photo instructions for the body, flippers, and shell
- Full yardage breakdown by color
You Can Do This
The shell is just a flat domed circle worked in half double crochet and sewn onto the body afterward, so even though the finished piece is large, the actual technique stays beginner-level throughout.
