Skill Level:
The base bucket hat is beginner-friendly, worked entirely in simple single crochet. The appliqué pieces (face, flippers/legs, and tail) involve a bit more shaping and embroidery, so a little prior experience is helpful there — but nothing a determined beginner can’t handle!

Summer craft fairs, baby gifts, photo props, and adding to your own shop lineup. Turtles are a customer favorite every season!
