Tortoise Cozy Crochet Patterns

Here are a few options for Free Crochet Tortoise Cozy Patterns. These are also called Turtle Sweaters, Turtle Jumpers and Turtle Cozy Patterns – in case you want to search online for a few options in the future.

When I was writing this post I found a lot of information about a woman named Katie Bradley who creates original Tortoise Cozy patterns and then crochets them for her Tortoises to wear. You can check out her blog here: Tort Addiction. 

She has a Facebook Page (Mossy Tortoise) and Instagram Page (Mossy Tortoise) too. Her Etsy Shop is currently closed as she is on a leave of absence, but you may wish to check out the other designs she has created, so here is the link: Mossy Tortoise

If you are looking for a finished Turtle Sweater there are a few shops on Etsy which sell them. Visit Turtle Toppers or My Cute Creation for more information.

Turtle Cozy Pattern

Wrap your favorite turtle in this adorable Dinosaur Turtle Cozy! You will need Medium Weight Yarn [4] and a 5 mm (H) crochet hook. This pattern was designed by Jess Grant.

This sweater fits a Box Turtle (approximately 5 1/2″ long x 4 3/4″ wide x 2 1/2″ tall). Designed by Jennifer Olivarez using Aran Weight Yarn [4] and a 2.75 mm crochet hook.

Bowser Sweater for a Turtle

Available from CraftFoxes, this free pattern includes a step-by-step photo tutorial to help you make your Turtle a Bowser Sweater.

Tortoise Jumper

This sweet Tortoise Jumper was designed by Holly Roberts and it is available from Instructables. This sweater can be made in 2 ways. You can either make 7 crocheted hexagons and then assemble the cover, or one large hexagon. The 7 hexagon method fits better but the large hexagon works up super quick!


Baby Tortoise Sweaters

These two tiny Turtle Cozy patterns are super cute! Dress your little tortoise in a Princess Peach or Baby Bowzer Cozy. These patterns were designed by AMK Creations and were crocheted with Medium Weight Yarn [4] and a 3.5 mm (E) crochet hook.
