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.
