Notes

Had a request for a pattern for a sea turtle beanie in the style of the salmon run beanie, so here goes…

I don’t think the patterning stands out well enough on the turtle shells so I’ve started on a second version with a simpler motif on the shell. This was not a good color choice though because it’s still hard to see the shell pattern.

Third version cleaned up the shell patterns a bit more and reduced some of the smaller stuff although that results in longer carries.
