Turtle Wrist Purse and Tiny Baby Turtle Necklace

Copyright to champygirl July 10, 2008

Materials:

Worsted Weight Yarn in yellow, yellow green, white and variegated yarn.
(I used Red Heart Supersaver yarn in Bright Yellow, Spring Green, White and Sherbet Print.)
Size E hook
Yarn needle
Small amount of Polyfil (for the head on the wrist bag)
Permanent Black Marker

Finish Size: Wrist Bag-2½”h x 2¼”w

Different Stitches:
Dc Popcorn stitch: 5 dc in next st, take hook out of loop, stick hook into loops of 1st dc, then stick hook in loop from before, pull up loop thru loops of 1st dc and ch1. Diagram: Here
Sc Popcorn stitch: 5 sc in next st, take hook out of loop, stick hook into loops of 1st sc (in 5 sc group), then stick hook in loop from before, pull up loop thru loops of 1st sc and ch1.
Picot: Ch2, sc in 2nd chain from hook.

Notes:

When doing my sc decreases, sometimes I do them in the front loops only. It helps minimize the hole sometimes left when decreasing.

Sometimes when I’m working in back loops only, I like to go in both back loops. Diagram: Here
