This whimsical little snail is very forgiving and beginner-friendly, but fast enough for advanced crocheters to enjoy the quick finish. It is a very low tension pattern that can be made with a variety of yarns by adjusting tension (without having to change stitches or stitch counts). It is best worked in worsted weight or larger yarn. At approximately 90 total yards, it is an excellent little scrap-buster. Color changes are hidden - nobody will know if you’re not a color-changing pro! There is very little stitch-counting.

Photos are separated onto the last 2 pages of the pattern to enable you to conserve your color ink by only printing the pages with written instructions, if you prefer.

Designer support is readily available, including contact information imbedded into the pattern.

Please be respectful of the amount of work that goes into creating a fun pattern for you! This pattern took approximately 40 hours to design, write, photograph, and format into a functional PDF. Most of that work was in the writing, photo management & formatting.

Share the link to purchase (not your copy). Tag and credit your designers whenever possible. If you sell your finished products, price them fairly for your market. Please don’t undercharge! It hurts you and other artists.

Happy Stitching!
