One of the absolute titans when it came to my childhood, the majority of my toys were Ninja Turtle related! These heroes in a half-shell seem to be immortal, considering their semi-recent reboot has garnered their new popularity. With a mix of nostalgia and brand-new fans, there is a plethora of crochet patterns surrounding these guys. That’s why I’m happy to share with you some of my favorite crochet Ninja Turtles patterns below!

2. Crochet Ninja Turtle Hat Pattern by Repeat Crafter Me
Cowabunga, Dude! Time to crochet a Ninja Turtle hat! This is a basic crochet hat pattern with felt embellishments for the face and mask. I like the way the classic TMNT faces look — much more kid friendly and using felt instead of crochet embellishments gives much more detail to the face, and a closer replica of the cartoon character.

These gloves are the perfect addition to a Ninja Turtle costume, or to wear all winter to fight off Shredder should they happen to see him in the sewers!
