Free Turtle Cross Stitch
Printable Pattern

This cross stitch turtle is a natural for the bath. Stitch him on baby's hooded bath towel. Tickle your little one with brightly stitched bath mitts and washcloths. Have "Whale," "Dolphins" and "Octopus" join him.

Decorate the bathroom tissue box by putting these animals, one on each side, on inserts that slide into an acrylic cover. Soap and lotion dispensers, tooth brush holders, switch plate covers . . . the list keeps growing.

These water pals will also look great on cross stitch bottle covers, sipper cups, regular cups and travel mugs.

This turtle chart was originally designed and used as another block or square for a baby afghan or baby quilt. A big "thank you" to those companies who have worked so hard to create new ways to display our cross stitch creations.
