Product Details
Crochet pattern for a snail or slug.
These little characters are perfect on a twig tree - or for yarn-bombing outdoors. They are also great fun to include in a wreath, floral centrepiece or fruit bowl!
Carefully designed with a realistic, asymmetrical shell, this pattern uses a wide range of crochet stitches to achieve the perfect shape, making it an unusual and rewarding project.
You can make the snail the size of your choice using the yarn of your choice and details are given in the pattern. For example, for an approximately 8cm (3⅛") snail you will need double-knitting (DK, light worsted weight, Category 3) yarn as follows:
-- 9m (9 yards) for the body
-- 13m (14 yards) for the shell
You will also need:
-- stuffing material
-- a crochet hook to match your chosen yarn (details in pattern)
-- a yarn needle
-- scissors
This pattern is fully-illustrated with colour photos and available in separate UK and US versions.
