KEYCHAIN TORTOISE

You will need: 6 strands of 1.2m each, 22 medium raspberry-colored wooden beads, 4 medium blue glass beads, 1 large pink bead. To begin with, we will twist the head of the turtle. Take 2 threads of 1.2m with a diameter of 1.5mm:

Then weave a square knot consisting of a right flat knot:

and left flat knot:

Thus weave 2 knots and put on the bead eyes (Turkish eye from the evil eye):

Now weave three square knots:

Then we thread the ends of the threads to the beginning of the square knot from two sides:

Here is the head came out:

It's time to go to the paws. We take 2 threads of 1.2 m each with a diameter of 1.5 mm and put on each a wooden bead, then we twist the ends of the threads:

In the same way as the head, we form a paw of two square knots:

At the end of the paw we put on a cylindrical glass bead to match the eyes:

We will tie diagonal knots: rep knots around two central threads:

One side

And exactly the same with the other

That's what happened

We string the wooden beads through one thread and make a diagonal knot on the right side:

And on the left:

Then we form the second row on the left side:

and right side:

Now we string the bead on two middle threads:

Now, around the third thread from the center, we will form diagonal knots and close the bead:

And then the fourth thread will form the diagonal nodes on the left:

Similarly, on the left. That's what happened

The turtle has found a tortoise shell pattern:

We string the wooden beads through one and form the diagonal knot with the extreme thread on the right and left:

We will begin to manufacture the tail. To do this, select four threads in the center and form the diagonal nodes with the outer threads:

The hind legs are braided in the same pattern as the front ones: we string the glass beads:
Then weave a square knot and string on the extreme threads on a wooden bead
