Turtle Pattern

Hello, my people! I've been working on some projects, ripping out some projects, starting even more projects, and so forth. Today, though, I have a pattern. You'll never guess what it is.

 Body/shell:
1 - ch 2, 6 sc in 2nd chain
2 - inc around (12)
3 - *sc, inc in next* around (18)
4 - *2 sc, inc in next* around (24)
5-6 - sc around (24)
then dec until hole is closed (but don't forget to stuff the poor creature! You don't want him to starve, do you?? :( )

Head:
1 - ch 2, 6 sc in 2nd ch
2 - *sc, inc in next* around (9)
3-5 - sc around (9)
6 - *sc, dec in next* around
ss, fo

Limbs:
1 - ch 2, 6 sc in 2nd ch
2-3 - sc around
ss, fo

And that is all! Have good lives, don't fall off of any bridges (tall ones, anyhow)!

Scarf? Cowl? Neck thing yay!

Hello world! It's been a while since I've made a post, but hey, it's been a while since I finished a project. I'm one of those HEY LOOK I SHOULD MAKE THAT sort of people who has about 8 projects going at once. Oh well!
Since I got the fancy fancy yarn from the fancy fancy yarn store, I've been wondering what to make from it. I wanted to make socks, but alas, that didn't work... I can't tell if it's because ribbing doesn't work or if I'm really that small (NO I AM A BIG MAN), but it wasn't working for me.
So I decided to make a scarf.
It didn't turn out quite like a scarf, but it's too big to be a cowl, so it's a thing.

I used granny squares, except granny stripes, cause I'm a rebel child.
Anywho, I've got some projects going (that I should work on, oops), so no, I'm not letting it die already!
Be swell!

Seahorse Pattern

Hello world! Maybe as a first post, I should introduce myself.

... Nah. I'll just give you a pattern for a seahorse instead.

I love seahorses. But I couldn't find an acceptable pattern. So I made my own. It is in four parts that all fit together and have to be sewn. Reasons for this being the odd shape of the seahorse. Sorry for the complications!

 - Size G (4.25mm) hook
-Worsted weight yarn
- Safety eyes (optional, as you can see, I have none and doubt their existence in the first place)
- Pipe cleaner (for the tail...again, missing the supplies myself)
- Stitch marker (this, I did use. I use a bobby pin for this)

Head:
1: ch 2, 6 sc in 2nd ch from hook
2 - 5: sc in each st around (6)
6: *sc in next 2 sts, inc in next* twice (8)
7: sc in next 2 sts, inc, sc, inc, 2 sc, inc (11)
8: sc in next 10 sts, inc (12)
9: *sc in next 2 sts, inc* around (16)
10: *sc in next 3 sts, inc* around (20)
11: dec, sc, dec, sc in remaining sts (18)
12 - 14: sc in each st around (18)
15: *sc in next 2 sts, inc* around (24)
ss, fo

Neck Joint:
1: ch 2, 6 sc in 2nd ch from hook
2: inc around (12)
3: *sc in next st, inc* around (18)
4: *sc in next 2 sts, inc* around (24)
5 - 6: sc around (24)
7: dec 6 times, sc in remaining sts (17)
8: dec 3 times, sc in remaining sts (14)
9: dec 2 times, sc in remaining sts. (12)
stuff.
dec until hole is closed.

Body:
1: ch 2, 6 sc in 2nd ch from hook
2: inc around (12)
3: *sc in next st, inc* around (18)
4: *sc in next 2 sts, inc* around (24)
5 - 9: sc around (24)
10: *sc in next 2 sts, dec* around (goes into next round) (17)
11 - 13: sc around (17)
14: sc in next st, dec* around (into next round) (10)
15 - 19: sc around (10)
ss, fo

Tail:
1: ch 2, 4 sc in 2nd ch from hook
2 - 15: sc around (4)
16: inc, sc, inc, sc (6)
17: *sc in next 2 sts, inc* twice (8)
18: *sc in next 3 sts, inc* twice (10)
19: *sc in next 4 sts, inc* twice (12)
20: *sc in next 5 sts, inc* twice (14)
21: *sc in next 6 sts, inc* twice (16)
22: *sc in next 7 sts, inc* twice (18)
ss, fo

Dorsal fin:
ch 8
1: starting at 3rd ch, *dc, ch, skip 1 ch, dc* across
2: 2 ch, dc in 1st st, ch, dc in same st. ch 1, skip 1 ch, dc until last stitch. ch, dc, ch, dc in same st.

Pectorial fin (make 2):
ch 3
1: 2 dc in last ch
2: ch 1, sc, ch, sc in next st, ch, sc in ch from previous row.

There you go! I also chained 6 and glued it to the bottom of the pectorial fin. You could do that, but that's also just me.

ON A SIDE NOTE.

I went to a pretty pretty yarn store yesterday and got some pretty pretty yarns!

I'm super excited to use them. :D

Farewell for now, don't fall in a ditch!
