At approximately 25cm/10in long and 27cm/10¾in tall, Heinrich is a super-sized slug! However, despite his portly proportions, he involves hardly any sewing - only his eyestalks, smile and super-snazzy bow tie are sewn on. For everything else, you can just use your trusty crochet hook! As much of Heinrich’s body is worked in a spiral, it’s a good idea to use a stitch marker at the start of every round. Just don’t leave it lying around – Heinrich may eat it!

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!

The boring bit…
This pattern is intended for personal use so it’s fine to print it out but please don’t sell it, share it on the internet or make multiple copies. What you can sell (more money for yarn – YAY!) is finished items made from this pattern so long as you’ve made them yourself and it’s not on a commercial basis.
