This pattern has a couple options, you can make a plush toy or a Pj keeper. A Pj Keeper has a pocket space for children’s pajamas or anything they would like to keep in there. I recommend this for children’s pajamas up to size 8/10. This is a mostly no sew pattern. We will use several stitch markers to pin our work together before slip stitching all the pieces on to the shell. The only sewing needed is a few stitches to lift and attach the head to the shell. Feel free to change the hook size to your preference but keep in mind the size of the finished item will change as well. The top shell of my tortoise measures about 12” in diameter. My PJ keeper is 19” from head to tail. We’ll be working in continuous rounds for this pattern.
