Technical Requirements

To ensure your turtle is sturdy enough for a keychain, having the right materials is key. While you can use any yarn weight, we suggest the following for this Mini Turtle Crochet Pattern:

Recommended Materials:

• Yarn: Worsted Weight or DK yarn. Cotton yarn prevents the keychain from stretching out over time.

• Hook: A 2.5mm to 3.5mm hook is recommended. A smaller hook creates a dense fabric that holds up well to daily use.

• Details: Safety eyes (6mm to 8mm) or embroidered eyes for safety.

• Stuffing: A tiny pinch of high-quality polyfill.
