A pair of turtles swims lazily across the fronts of this cardigan. More turtles join them down the front as buttons. To avoid choking hazard, you may wish to omit wiggle eyes on the pair of turtles if the sweater is for a small child. Instead, embroider the eyes with duplicate stitch.

Materials:
Plymouth Wildflower DK yarn: 4 (5, 6,6) ball off-white (#40) and 1 ball each khaki (#31), green (#49) and lime (#58);
4 (3/8-inch) wiggle eyes, JHB International #20191;
5 (5, 6, 6, 6) 7/8-inch turtle buttons, JHB International #94626.
