Skill level - intermediate. Pattern does not contain crochet tutorials!

You should have basic crochet skills.

Approx. 15 cm (about 5.9 inches) tall using the materials stated in the pattern.
You may use any size yarn for this amigurumi, just make sure to use the hook size
suggestion on the yarn label. Use safety eyes that are a suitable size for the yarn
you are using.

This pattern is for personal use only.

Publishing, distributing and sharing to social networks is prohibited.

This pattern has instructions for making the ninja turtle Leonardо. To make the other
ninja turtles, you just need to change the colors to the one you want.

Materials:
- The hook suitable under your yarn. I have Clover Soft Touch 2.00 mm.
- Yarn: green, light blue, gray, brown and light brown colors. I used «YarnArt Jeans»
yarn (160m in 50g, 55% cotton/45% polyacryl).
- 8 mm black safety eyes.
- Toys filler.
- Black thin thread.
- Scissors.
- Tapestry needle.
- Pins.
- Stitch marker.
.
Terms used:
MR - magic ring
sc - single crochet
ch - chain stitch
inc - increase (stitch 2 times into the next stitch)
dec - invisible decrease (crochet 2 sc together using invisible method)
hdc - half double crochet
(...)х n - repeat instructions in brackets n times
R - round.

Change colors in crochet. Loop your new yarn color over your hook.
Crochet your new yarn color back through the two loops on your hook.

Notes:
- Crochet continuously in a spiral, unless otherwise specified.
- In order to not lose track of the number of worked stitches in each round, use a
stitch marker to mark the beginning of each round - a thin thread of contrasting
color.
- Crochet tightly enough so the filler is not visible through the holes between loops
- Tightly and gradually fill all the details of the toy in the process of crocheting.
- Size of the finished toy can vary depending on the materials used, the density of
crocheting and filling, etc.

Pleasant crochet! Beautiful and equal loops! ☺
