Crochet No-Sew Flower Daffodil Turtle Tutorial

Learn how to make a no-sew crochet daffodil turtle. You make four fins and one head using a magic ring and single crochets. You put safety eyes on the head and fill it with stuffing.

For the body, you start with a yellow magic ring to make the flower center. You change to a cream color or white to make the flower petals and a blue color for the body.

You attach the fins and head to the body as you crochet. Finally, you put stuffing in the body, close the hole, and tie the head to the body.
