Welcome back with another pattern from the “3 crochet seasonal turtle amigurumi” series. With this last pattern in the series, you will learn how to crochet this CUTE daisy flower shell turtle amigurumi that you can use as a spring bag charm, summer desk buddy, or a huggable plush if you crochet it with the chenille yarn. Now that the series is complete, you can also take a look at the crochet sunflower shell turtle and pumpkin pie turtle pattern, too.
By crocheting these toys, you will have the cutest buddy for 3 seasons. You can also customize it further, such as the rose turtle pattern, as I won’t bring any further ideas after this. This pattern is technically the same as the other crochet turtle amigurumi in this series. Just the colors have been swapped. Anyway, I have shared a full pattern below.

Petals & Layer Joining (White)
- Setup: Place the Pale Yellow top shell and Teal belly piece together with wrong sides facing inward.
- Standard Petals: Join White yarn through both pieces. Ch 2, work 3 dc into the next stitch (going through both layers), ch 2, and sl st into the next stitch. Repeat this sequence around the body.
- Head Opening: When you reach the front section where the head will sit, leave an opening of about 6 stitches. Work 3 petals through the Pale Yellow top shell loops only, skipping the Teal belly stitches beneath them.
- Completion: Once past the head area, resume joining both layers together. Remember to stuff the shell with fiberfill before finishing your last few petals.
Final Assembly
- Head: Slide the flat neck tab into the front gap of the shell. Sew it securely to both the top and bottom layers of the shell.
- Flippers & Tail: Sew the 4 flippers symmetrically onto the underside of the Teal belly piece. Sew the tiny tail to the back, centered between the rear flippers.
- Eyes: Position and secure the safety eyes onto the sides of the head.
