Pattern: Granny square tortoise by Brigitte Read

Yarn: Lion brand Wool ease in two shades of green

Hook: 3.5mm (E)

He is cute, and the shiny black eyes look very lifelike. But he is not quite as neatly finished as the snail from a few weeks back, I think my knitting skills are much better than my crochet, out of practise maybe.

I had to line his shell with some green felt as the granny squares had holes in that would have let the stuffing out.
