Crocheted Turtle Cozies!

Crocheted Turtle Cozies - Shark

Forget boring ol’ teapot cozies, turtle cozies are where it’s at! Seriously, how cool would it be to have your very own (albeit slow) lawn shark? Katie Bradley of Etsy shop Mossy Tortoise is the genius behind these cosplaying cuties. She sells the crochet patterns for the turtle cozies so you can make your very own or, if you’re crochet-challenged like me, you can request a custom made one.

Duun-dun…duun-dun…duun-dun…dun-dun dun-dun dun-dun dun-dun…doo-de-doo! (No, no, my cat didn’t walk across the keyboard, that’s obviously the theme from Jaws.)

And perhaps even more fun than Turtle Shark…Turtlesaurus!

There are some thing to keep in mind when you cosplay with your wee turtle friends however. I personally don’t know much about keeping turtles are pets, but other people have pointed out that the cozies are definitely not meant to be a heat source or to be worn for long periods of time. And of course, keep an eye on the wee wooly beasts as well.

  1. Hi there! I love the lawn shark idea–brilliant! Just thought I’d mention that not too long ago I created a pattern for a Bowser from Super Mario Bros. turtle cozy. My friend’s turtle looks pretty tough in it. The pattern is free for everyone to enjoy at http://wp.me/p2PSM6-jU.

  2. I love to crochet, especially unusual hats & stuffed animals. I would appreciate a list of available patterns. I really love the fancy turtle copies!

  3. The animals wearing the cozies are not turtles. They are tortoises.
    Turtles have webbed feet, for swimming. Tortoises do not have webbed feet. They have clubbed feet with long toenails, for digging. They might bask in water sometimes, but tortoises do not swim. In the wild, tortoises like to burrow.
