Lily the Turtle (Free Pattern)


One day I saw a little turtle amigurumi posted by a friend on facebook.  It was a turtle that his girl friend made him!  It's so cute and inspired me to make one for myself at once!  I searched for my two yarn-filled storage boxes and found these left over Vanna's Choice yarns! They are soft and great for ami!  I named it Lily the Turtle just because it popped up the name of Lily of this beautiful rose color!

Here is a FREE pattern to share with you!
