Turtle & Tortoise Hideaway Coaster Sets

This is a crochet pattern for a cute coaster set in the shape of a land turtle (tortoise) or sea turtle. The set includes 6 shell patterned coasters which store away neatly inside a turtle shaped body. And just to make it super cute, when the coasters are in use, you can flip your turtle inside out to make it hide in its shell!
