merci pour ce génial tuto !
Love this thank you for sharing this darling pattern
heel erg leuk
Love em
i previously asked for pattern in English i found it lol
ok 🙂
Bestaat deze in een Nederlandse beschrijving ?
Ik vind hem prachtig .
Hallo! Het spijt me dat ik nog niet in het Nederlands heb kunnen vertalen, maar dat zou ik graag doen.
Hallo,
Ik kijk er naar uit , zo een pracht exemplaar …. TOP .
DANK JE
GRT Suzanne
help! in rd 17 it says [1sl st,(1hdc,inc-hdc)x5 1sl st]x7 does it mean (1 sl st, then 1 hdc, reg increase then hdc, 5 times theb 1 sl st I have been stuck on this for 2 days and every way I do it doesn’t seem right
Hi Gail! You must make ***1slip stitch, 1hdc, (2 increases of hdc) – this sequence 5 times, 1slst and repeat *** for 7 times. At the end of the row you must have 119 stitches.
In the following rows be sure to skip a stitch. I hope I helped you. Forgive me for being late with the answer.
Thank you. I’ll try this.
I am still not getting these directions. Every time I have a lot more than 119 stitches. When I go into the ten stitches how many stitches am I supposed to have? If I do 2 hdc in all of the 10 st then I have 20 st.? I do not understand (2 increases of hdc) do 1hdc then another hdc in same stitch? I am really getting discouraged and ready to go onto another project
2 increases of hdc = 1 increase of hdc (2 hdc in the same stitch) + 1 increase of hdc .
Increase = 2hdc in the same stitch and 2 increases = 2hdc in the same stitch + 2hdc in the next stitch.
3 increases of hdc = 1 increase of hdc + 1 increase of hdc + 1 increase of hdc …. etc
Hi, Still having trouble. If the email I first gave isn’t working try gchampagne85@gmail.com
This is a REALLY CUTE pattern. Just found it and I’m going to save it to make later. Thank you for it 🥰
Hallo. Ich verstehe Runde 18 und 19 nicht. Ich kann nicht von Runde 17 mit 119 Maschen, in den anderen Runden mit weiteren Zunahmen auf 119 Maschen bleiben. Wie geht das?
Hi Mandy! You must make at 17th row: ***1slip stitch, 1hdc, (2 increases of hdc) – this sequence 5 times, 1slst and repeat *** for 7 times. At the end of the row you must have 119 stitches.
In the following rows (18, 19 etc) be sure to skip a stitch.
Kommt den in Runde 18 und 19 noch Zunahmen? Ganz verstehe ich es noch nicht.
Habe den Dreh jetzt raus bekommen. Danke. Schöne Anleitung. Gefällt mir.
Dokonalé,moc děkuji
Really cute pattern. What color yarn was used for the face/appendages of the more colorful turtle? Doesn’t look like cream. Also, could you recommend a yarn substitute?
Hi! The yarn used are Yarn Art Jeans (55% cotton / 45% polyacrylic) 160m / 50g. Instead of the cream color, you can use a light yellow if you want the color of the face as in the photo. Using the mentioned yarn, the turtle is 17 cm high (6.7 inches) and 13 cm wide (5.1 inches).
You can use any kind of thread, only acrylic or only cotton, but the dimensions will be different (with acrylic larger than the model and smaller with cotton).
These turtles are fabulous and my granddaughter would love them. I have never tried to knit something like this before so thankyou very much
You’re welcome 😀
How do I get the pattern of the turtles in English Carmen as l would love to try to make it for my granddaughter as she loves animals
You can save the pattern from your computer if you have Google Chrome by choosing to print in pdf.
Gibt es diese Anleitung auch auf Deutsch ?
Ich würde mich sehr darüber freuen.
