Tortoise assembly
We sew the lower and upper parts of the head with a mattress seam, leaving a hole for the mouth, mouth we attach for the remaining stitches of the loops, the wide side should be attached to the top parts of the head. Tie a thread to match the head of the 2nd row around the mouth.
Connect both parts of the shell into the neck, insert the wire, stuff and sew more wide to the body, narrower to the head. In the carapace I advise you to put something heavy to give stability to the turtle!
Sew legs, handles and a tail, sew them to the body between the carapace and the remaining stitches of loops (carapace side)
Now we turn to the design of the picture on the shell:
I knitted 6 circles:
1p-6sc
2 row inc.x6 (12)
sewed them evenly to the shell and connected with a chain from CH, in the center also a chain from CH
You can beautifully embroider or make an application of felt, in general, show imagination and share with us!
