Turtle Cozy Pattern

*Note: This was made for a fake tortoise - not a real one. Real tortoises are likely larger than this;
though I can't vouch for that.

TORTOISE "TORTOISAURUS" COZY

One Skein of Worsted Weight Yarn in Blue (I used Vanna's Choice)
One Skein of Worsted Weight Yarn in Green (I used Vanna's Choice)
H Hook
Stitching needle to connect the spikes to the main portion
Two small buttons for the underside

Choose your main color (mine was Blue for the boy, pink for the girl).

DO NOT FASTEN OFF!!

Begin Strap:
1. Ch 1. Sc in next 5 st. Turn.
2. Ch 1. Sc in next 5 st. Turn
3. Repeat step 2 fourteen times.
4. Fasten off.
Count over 19 stitches to find the right stitch to start the strap on the opposite side.

Strap on the other side:

1. Sl st into stitch and Ch 1. Sc in next 5 st. Turn.


2. Ch 1. Sc in next 5 st. Turn
3. Repeat Row 2 seven more times.
Fasten Off.

Put the main portion on the turtle with the straps going across the underportion of the belly. Find
where the straps overlap and notice where the two buttons need to go. Sew the buttons using sewing
thread onto one of the straps. It doesn't matter which strap is on top. I sewed mine with the shorter
strap on top of the longer strap.

SPIKES: (still using the H hook, but now using the secondary color)
You will make four spikes total. Then connect them to each other before connecting them to the main
portion.

1. Ch 5.
2. Sc in 2nd ch. Sc across the other three ch. Turn.
3. Ch 1. Sc in each st across. Turn
4. Repeat row 3 two more times.
5. Ch 1. Sctog next 2 st. Sctog next 2 st.
6. Ch 1. Sctog next 2 st.
Fasten Off.

CONNECT SPIKES TOGETHER:


1. Sl st yarn into the right hand side of the spike at the bottom corner when it is facing you.
2. Sc up the side of the spike until the top st. Do not sc in the top st.
3. In the top st, make 3 sc in it.
4. Sc down the other side. DO NOT FASTEN OFF.
5. Get another spike and set it next to the previous spike that is finished.
6. Sl st tog in the bottom right corner of the the new spike.
7. Sl st tog in the next st up on the new spike.
8. Begin sc up the side of the next spike until the top st. Do not sc in the top st.
9. In the top st, make 3 sc in it.
10. Sc down the other side. DO NOT FASTEN OFF.
11. Repeat rows 5-10 with the next two spikes until all four spikes are linked together.
12. When you fasten off, leave a very long tail for connecting the spikes to the main portion.

CONNECT SPIKES TO MAIN PORTION:


Use a yarn needle with the long tail to connect the spikes to the main part.
**Really important: Make sure that you put the main portion on the turtle without buttoning it. Then
place the spikes along the main portion to figure out where it will go. Then sew the spikes to the main
portion and voila! your tortoisaurus is finished!
