This cute pink crochet sea turtle pattern with a heart on its shell, prepared for Valentine’s Day, is with you. Although Valentine’s Day is behind us, I still wanted to share it with you. Because it is a very cute and extremely easy crochet sea turtle pattern. Also, the crochet heart detail on its shell looks different and beautiful. I think it is a crochet turtle that can be made all year round. It can be an educational amigurumi pattern for those who are new to amigurumi. You can put the eyes of the turtle on ready-made, or you can embroider them with black yarn. At the same time, if you do not want a pink turtle, you can work in different colors and get different results.
