Notes

This little guy is like those turtles in the Super Mario Brothers games, once you bop them out of their shells, you can throw the shells at other people!

The only question is - toy eyes or needle felted eyes?

Used a USG hook for the crocheting bit.
Did not do the last two rows of the face; ran the end through the final 10 sts twice to close it off.
