Crochet Toys – Snail
Etsy: Crochet Snail Pattern
Ravelry: Amigurumi Snail Pattern
Nice to see your projects and have a look at what the other crocheters have done.
Amigurumipatterns.net: Tiny Amigurumi Snail
This is my very first amigurumi crochet toy pattern from years back, now with an updated version, DK weight included.
Crochet hook: 2,5mm
Size: approx. 10,5 cm/4,1 inc
Yarn: Ricorumi DK, DK weight /8 ply, on 10
pages! Easy to follow pattern with lots of photos. I even included how to change the color, how to use poppers, and how to coil it up using the yarn, etc.
I also made some
videos: They can be found here: Amigurumi Video Tutorials
You can make these super cute snails including your own favorite colors.
Why I like these crochet snails? I find
them adorable, they are great toys for kids, they make nice gifts, and the end
result gives such a great sense of achievement. Quite quick make as well. Also
suitable for beginners – basic crochet stitches: single crochet, increasing and
decreasing.

while coiled up in one piece like seen here
Fun fact: it´s the same indoor plant I
have had for a decade. Now slightly smaller.
That´s an old photo of the year
2002 I believe 🙂
And the process of making amigurumi toys
The process of making toys, actually
designing them is a long process, but when you can hold it at the end and
people get back you with their makes and positivity, it´s all worth it. And
I will literally crochet for the rest of my life, hopefully. I was 6 years old
when I understood that I like that world of toys, shapes, creativity, etc. My
head is full of ideas, projects, etc. I see colors – I feel them. Crochet helps
in so many ways. When your hands are working your brain is calmer. There´s so
much noise around us, it helps to concentrate on yourself.
There´s
not much yarn needed for one crocheted snail. Cotton yarn is great, but why not
to try with different yarns. As said. My pattern gives you at least two
versions: how to work with fingering weight yarn (4 ply) and how to crochet
your snail with DK weight yarn (8ply), Ricorumi DK here.
Aren´t they just cute?
How can I see your makes with this
