    TURTLE:
    The turtle is crocheted with nutmeg and consists of striped tanks, a spiral tail,
    monochrome feet and the head.

    TANK:
    Crochet two pieces as follows:
    1st round: Crochet 3 ch and work with 1 sl st. in the first lm to a ring close.
    2nd round: Crochet 6 dc in the ring, with 1 sl st. to finish in the first fM, 1 ch.
    3rd round: 2 dc in every dc = 12 dc, with 1 sl st. to finish in the first fM, 1 ch.
    4th round: * 1 dc, 2 dc in next st *, repeat from * - * and work with 1 sl st. finish in the first dc, 1 ch = 18 dc.
    5th round: * 2 dc, 2 dc in next dc *, repeat from * - * and work with 1 sl st. into the first fM, 1Lm = 24 fM.
    6.R: * 3 sc, 2 sc in the next sc *. repeat from * - * and with 1 Kettm. in the first dc, 1 ch = 30 dc.
    7th round: * 4 dc, 2 dc in next dc *, repeat from * - * and work with 1 sl st. in the first dc, 1 ch = 36 dc.
