Jimbob Tortoise

Cheer up your sofa with a cuddly tortoise cushion! The tortoise body is knitted in two pieces and sewn together around the edges The head is knitted separately and sewn on the front, and the patch on the back is decorated with blanket stitch. Designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, the tortoise is knitted in acrylic DK yarns in stockinette stripes on single pointed needles (not in the round). For confident beginners and above, other techniques used include casting on and off, knits, purls, increases and decreases, and seaming to finish.
