The instructions provide a detailed guide for crocheting a turtle including the steps for making the head, legs, tail, shell and stomach.

The steps include making magic rings or chains to start each part and then increasing or decreasing stitches in the following rounds to shape each piece. The parts are then joined together with yarn and sewn in place.

The materials needed are crochet needle size 2.75mm, yarn in different colors for the different parts, and a yarn needle for joining.
