Crochet a Turtle Cuff Bracelet

This cute bracelet would make the perfect gift for boys and girls alike -- toddler to 'tween and beyond. The turtle is removable and makes a cute carry-along playmate or make the turtle alone and use it as a back pack decoration. The possibilities are endless!

Note: The turtle cuff bracelet pattern is my original design. To see more of my work or get copies of other patterns I've written, please visit my blog or Ravelry Pattern Shop. I also sell finished amigurumi in my Etsy shop.

Thanks for checking out my instructable and happy crocheting!

Step 1: Getting Started

To make my turtle cuff bracelet, I used the following materials:
