Product Details
Jimmy Snail is approximately 18cm/7in tall and 26cm/10¼in from nose to tail. He uses very small amounts of yarn and, better still, you can customise his shell to make him as colourful as you like! All pieces are knitted flat on straight needles.
If you’re not confident about changing colours, you could use a self-patterning or variegated yarn instead. More adventurous knitters might like to try using different weight yarns to produce a smaller or larger snail... or even a whole family of snails! Just remember to use a smaller needle size than is usually recommended for your chosen yarn so the stuffing doesn’t poke through...
You'll be pleased to know that this pattern has been reviewed by professional technical editor to ensure that it's super-easy to follow!
Jimmy's body was knitted using Woolcraft New Fashion DK in Mint but the yarn suggested is virtually identical.
