    Excellent tutorial! One thing though.. at 10:50 you could just turn the fin upside down and it will have the same effect hun🫶🏼

    • @jacquelinecifuentes5019
      @jacquelinecifuentes5019 3 дня назад

      I believe the reason for sewing to the other end on one fin is so that both fins' edge stitches are upright, rather than one facing down and the other facing up. If that makes sense. It's for symmetrical reasons. 😊

    For the fins, why can't I just flip the fin around? seeing as we fold it like a taco, won't front and back be exactly the same?

    • @crochetbygenna
      @crochetbygenna  6 месяцев назад +11

      so you can, but when you crochet the fin closed it creates an outline and the outline will be on the bottom if you flip the fin around. But its personal preference :) you can do it like that if you want!

    • @meganj1411
      @meganj1411 6 месяцев назад +2

      It's because the edges of the fins won't look the same when you sew them on. The stitches will be upside down for the second fin and it will affect the symmetry of the design. You can't see it on the video very well, but the little "V's" the stitches create will only be visible on one side. So basically it's for aesthetic purposes more than anything.

    Genna, I just watched your other video from 3 months ago on how to design crochet patterns, and I was wondering that if in the future, you could make a video on how to take professional pictures of your crochet? I’m so bad at taking pictures 😂😭😭 however I’ve seen the pictures on your website and I’m so jealous. Do you have any tips or advice?

    Hey guys! To whoever is reading this comment, if your turtle ended up with a cone shape, skip the first round by doing 12 single crochet in the magic ring instead of 6, then continue from row 3.
