Hat in newborn, small, medium and large sizes. Booties in newborn, small and medium. Handsies in newborn size.

This hat is a showstopper, featuring a fun-to-knit stitch pattern on its shell and a little bit of easy color work. It’s the cutest introduction to stranded color knitting ever. Don’t be surprised to see your child dragging the Turtle around the house by its flipper and playing with the hat as though it were a stuffed animal. With extra-special details (including a tail), it’s practically a toy!
