Crochet a Turtle Cuff Bracelet

Step 3 Finishing the Body

1. Using the tapestry needle, gather the remaining six stitches on the back of the turtle's body and pull tight (see first image, below).
2. Push the needle through the center of the piece until it pokes out on the top side (see the second image, below).
3. Pull the needle all the way through and pass it back through to the back side of the piece.
4. Make a loop on the back of the piece only slightly larger than the button you will use to attach it to the cuff bracelet (see the third image, below).

Note: If you are making the cuff bracelet for someone under the age of three (or for someone who could possibly choke on the buttons, skip step number three above and see Finishing for People Under Three on slide/step 10).
