Mrs West the Tortoise
Our Scrap Yarn Challenge finally returns with Mrs West the Tortoise!
Each month we ask our followers to let us know what some of the stash at Sincerely Louise HQ should be made into. Our favourite idea is knitted up and named after the person who suggested it. Our latest project is a colourful tortoise named Mrs. West. If you’d like a pattern named after you head over to our Instagram.
Our scrap yarn challenges are perfect stash busting projects as they only use a tiny amount of DK yarn. You can knit them in any colours and could be sized up or down too (although the yarn amounts you’ll need will vary).
Mrs West is a PDF pattern, written in English. She includes written instructions and a chart for the pattern on the shell. The shell pattern has also been written and colour coded. Mrs West is knitted in two pieces and then sewn together.
