Make a turtle

1.  Fold over the last crochet row of body top and fill with enough stuffing to plum them up and sew the body bottom to top.  

2.  Fill the head with enough stuffing and sew the head to body.

3.  Attach new yarn to body bottom where the turtle feet should be and make chain stitches for feet.

I use 7 chain stitch for front feet and 5 chain stitch for back feet.

4.  Attach small beads for turtle's eye.

For me...  Crochet diagram is much easier... 

But not all of you so I did my best to describe and hope this helps you.

Enjoy your day!!
