Scooter is a cute little sea turtle that’s fun and fast to knit and makes a perfect gift for the little guy or girl in your life (or for yourself!). A textured shell adds interest to your knitting, while his completely seamless construction makes him quick to work up for baby showers and very special birthdays.

Pattern includes both charted and fully written instructions, and also comes with a bonus PDF formatted especially for your e-reader or smartphone (written instructions only).
