New Here?
Go HERE to see what you need to make this turtle.
I’ve teamed up with Elite Yarns and The Wool Shoppe here in South Africa to bring you this adorable turtle to crochet along with us!
The yarn I used to create this turtle is called Dolce from YarnArt, a super soft, 6-weight velvet yarn.
Velvet yarn has been trending overseas for a while, but it’s really taken off this year here in South Africa. I have to say, working with velvet yarn is such a pleasure! I’ve found it hard to go back to using acrylic yarn—unless it’s super soft and silky, like Kismet Feels Like Cashmere or Elle Gold.

I hate to say this, but it needs to be said. Although this pattern is free on my blog, it’s not free to screenshot and share on any form of social media or messaging platforms, including WhatsApp groups. The ads on my website help make up for the income I lose by not selling the pattern. When you screenshot or convert my blog post into PDF files, you’re ripping away part of that income for me.
Please, instead of sharing screenshots, share the direct link to my pattern.
