Then we weave a square knot consisting of a right flat knot:
![weave a turtle's head](https://i.washerhouse.com/images/7/2539-spletem-golovu-cherepashki.jpg)
and the left flat node:
![weave a turtle's head](https://i.washerhouse.com/images/7/2540-spletem-golovu-cherepashki.jpg)
Thus we weave 2 knots and put on eye beads (Turkish eye for the evil eye):

Now we weave three square knots:
![weave a turtle's head](https://i.washerhouse.com/images/7/2542-spletem-golovu-cherepashki.jpg)
Then we thread the ends of the threads into the beginning of the square knot on both sides:
![turtle](https://i.washerhouse.com/images/7/2543-cherepaha.jpg)
This is the head that came out:
![turtle](https://i.washerhouse.com/images/7/2544-cherepaha.jpg)
It's time to move on to the paws. We take 2 threads of 1.2 m with a diameter of 1.5 mm and put a wooden bead on each, then we intertwine the ends of the threads:

In the same way as the head, we form the paw from two square knots:

At the end of the paw we put a cylindrical glass bead to match the eyes:

We will tie diagonal knots: rep knots around two central threads:
![turtle](https://i.washerhouse.com/images/7/2547-cherepaha.jpg)
On the one side
![turtle](https://i.washerhouse.com/images/7/2565-cherepaha.jpg)
And exactly the same with the other
![turtle](https://i.washerhouse.com/images/7/2566-cherepaha.jpg)
This is what happened
![turtle](https://i.washerhouse.com/images/7/2548-cherepaha.jpg)
We string wooden beads through one thread and make a diagonal knot on the right side:
![turtle](https://i.washerhouse.com/images/7/2549-cherepaha.jpg)
And from the left:
![turtle](https://i.washerhouse.com/images/7/2550-cherepaha.jpg)
Then we form the second row on the left side:
![turtle](https://i.washerhouse.com/images/7/2551-cherepaha.jpg)
and right side:
![turtle](https://i.washerhouse.com/images/7/2552-cherepaha.jpg)
Now we string the bead onto two middle threads:
![turtle](https://i.washerhouse.com/images/7/2553-cherepaha.jpg)
Now we will form diagonal knots around the third thread from the center and close the bead:
![turtle](https://i.washerhouse.com/images/7/2554-cherepaha.jpg)
And then with the fourth thread we will form diagonal knots on the left:
![turtle](https://i.washerhouse.com/images/7/2555-cherepaha.jpg)
Exactly the same on the left. This is what happened
![turtle](https://i.washerhouse.com/images/7/2556-cherepaha.jpg)
The turtle has acquired a tortoise shell pattern:
![turtle](https://i.washerhouse.com/images/7/2557-cherepaha.jpg)
We string wooden beads through one and form a diagonal knot with the outer thread on the right and left:
![turtle](https://i.washerhouse.com/images/7/2558-cherepaha.jpg)
Let's start making the tail. To do this, select four threads in the center and form diagonal knots with the outermost threads:
![turtle](https://i.washerhouse.com/images/7/2559-cherepaha.jpg)
The hind legs weave in the same pattern as the front legs: we string glass beads:
Then we weave a square knot and string it onto the outer threads along a wooden bead
![turtle](https://i.washerhouse.com/images/7/2560-cherepaha.jpg)
We tie the ends, cut them with scissors and melt them with a lighter.

The turtle is ready!
