My tiny turtle crochet projects.

These were done using 6 strand cross-stitch thread and sized from left to right:

3mm hook, 2mm hook and a 1.5mm hook.

My newest one is on a 1.25mm hook and I am gradually working down the scale until I can use my 0.5mm. That's going to be quite the challenge.

My inspiration for the smaller ones are these 2 ladies over on Etsy:

Suami and Muffa

Their work is amazing.

Hi everyone I love this forum!!! These gorgeous turtles remind me on a box of miniature Chinese or Japanese dolls and animals my mum would let me play with on special occasion they were gorgeous. This was in the 1960's!! Does anyone have any patterns I would love to crochet them!!! Kym

Thank you for the compliments. I'm working on the 1.25mm at the moment and having to wear a pair of magnifying specs over my own. It seems to be working.

@Kacey - I'm hoping to be able to get down to 0.5mm which is the smallest hook I have. I need to invest in some crochet cotton before then, though, as I'm just using the old cross-stitch thread that I've got lying around.

What thickness would you recommend? I've never used proper thread I've tended to stick to wool in the past.
