Extra Life Ninja Turtles
An amigurumi pattern for your favorite pizza-loving, butt-kicking, sewer-dwelling teenagers!

I created these Ninja Turtles for Extra Life, a twenty-four hour game-a-thon to raise money for children’s hospitals. 100% of the money from pattern sales of the Amigurumi Ninja Turtles will be donated to Extra Life.

(If you would like to make these little guys as a donation to a fundraiser or children’s hospital, you can message me on Ravelry for a FREE copy of the pattern.)
