Your New Favourite Companion
Shelly The Turtle
Meet Shelly, the unbothered one of the crew! Slow and steady, she's never in a rush. Why race through life when you can carry your favourite spot on your back and nap wherever you land?
That calm, easygoing energy shows in every stitch. Our Turtle Crochet Kit captures her rounded shell, her stubby little legs, and that sleepy, content look of someone who's already exactly where she wants to be.
Making Shelly means giving yourself permission to slow down, one loop at a time.

Can I Really Learn to Crochet From These Kits?
Of course! Over 40,000 people have already learned to crochet with Fuppys, and you can be next!
To make it easier, each kit comes pre-started.
All you have to do is follow the step-by-step tutorials that accompany each learning kit (the crochet hook is included).
Shelly turns out to be a particularly rewarding first crochet project. The turtle kit runs through the same handful of stitches from start to finish, so confidence builds quietly rather than being tested at every turn. Follow the pattern through, and the skill settles in without you quite realising it has.
Why Fuppys?
Everything in the Turtle Crochet Kit was chosen with one person in mind. Someone who has never picked up a hook before.
Every part of it is chosen to remove the things that usually stop beginners before they even get going.
Making an amigurumi koala should feel as calm as the companion himself. That is exactly what we built this kit for.
The Joy of Making a Turtle
The Joy of Making Kayle the Koala
Shelly rewards the kind of making where you're not really thinking about being a beginner anymore.
The shell pulls most of the attention early on, and rightly so. Worked up in yarn, what looks detailed from the outside turns out to be one of the more meditative parts of the whole turtle amigurumi. The crochet pattern settles into a rhythm that asks very little of you and gives quite a lot back.
By the end, there's a quiet solidity to the finished crochet turtle that most companions don't quite manage. Something in the weight of her, the shape of that shell.
Put Shelly anywhere, and she looks like she belongs there.
