Hi! Iām planning on (trying) to make a pattern of my turtle- cheyenne. But I need some tips. Iām also going to look everywhere for tips and such. Maybe Iāll release it- but only if I could make such pattern. Iām also new to making patterns- and my brain is in a constant mood of making one.
Here are some pics.
Aww itās adorable! Good luck! If you have any questions, let me know! š«¶š¼
ahhh hes ADORABLE!
please tell him for me that he is an EXCELLENT photo model:i have always wanted to do a turtle, so maybe u would like to do a collab with me?
UH OH i have no experience w/ a pattern- but Iāll DM you when I THINK Iām readyā¦
Also I have to pay him by feeding him shrimp and snails for his lovely pictures.
okie np!
yes yes, he requires payment:0
How hard would making such pattern of my turtle be?
It definitely depends on how detailed it will be, but I donāt think it will be too hard!
Making a pattern is not easy but itās not hard! ā trust the processā is what I live by!

What kind of turtle is it? I also have a turtle at home, his name is Percy!
Red eared slider :)
I think heās abt 5 months old?
five months old ? I had a turtle tortilla, my aunt had given him/her to me (we never new the gender) and she was very small like the size of my palm, she never grew in size, we had to giveher away eventually because my mom was throwing up (was pregnant and didnāt know it) and blamed my turtle for giving her salmonella
:0 percyās a red eared slider too! Heās a little over 20 I think, his shell is 8 inches long 
Well thatās just sad. Hopefully he had a good time w/ u guys.
Mine? Itās 6 in. It takes 10 yrs for once to mature i think, so the sizeās accurate.
My pattern designing process is pretty simple:
First, I break the subject down into simple shapes. Amigurumi can be broken down into spheres, eggs, cylinders, cones, doughnuts, etc. and instructions for how to crochet those shapes can be readily found online.
Once I have it broken down into shapes, I figure out how best to join those shapes together. Sometimes this is as simple as sewing, but I try to join with crochet whenever possible. Often, this step is done while Iām making the prototype.
I write the pattern as Iām crocheting the prototype - I just jot down each round/step right before I crochet it using pencil and a notebook.
There is a LOT of frogging and erasing along the way, and itās not unusual for me to scrap the whole project and start over from scratch.
Yeah my aunt had him/her in a little coontainer that was so tight :( she couldnāt move
Thatās concerning
Ty for telling me! I think I got the legs, but the head and body are still iffy
Yeah seriously 
This conversation isā¦interesting
