Here is Day 19 of my 26 Days of Crochet Animal Alphabet Appliques!
S is for Snail
This colorful snail can be made in so many different color combinations! You could also leave off the body and it would make a nice seashell. Keep this in mind for your summer/beachy crochet projects 🙂
Materials:
– Worsted weight yarn. I used Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice in dusty purple, purple, and goldfish.
РSize G Crochet Hook (the bigger the hook the bigger the appliqu̩ and vice versa)
– Tapestry needle
SC = Single Crochet
HDC = Half Double Crochet
HDC = Half Double Crochet
DC = Double Crochet
Snail Applique Pattern:
Starting with main shell color
Magic ring, chain 2 and make 10 DC in ring continue to SC in rounds
Round 2: 2 DC in each stitch around
Round 3: 2 DC in first 10 stitches
Fasten off
Starting in middle, surface crochet in a spiral along DC edges with a different yarn color to add the swirl.
Now lets work on the head and body:
Magic ring, chain 1 and make 8 HDC in ring, join
Attach to shell and sc in next 8 (doesn’t need to be exact). Chain 4, SC down chain and join to second from last stitch. This makes the tail end of the body.

Thanks fot this little, simple snail.
Love, Margaret
I just love your creations!!! I've made a lot of your cute designs for family and friends, getting lots of compliments.
I signed up for your daily e-mails and enjoyed them as long as I got them.
They stopped coming about a week ago and I was wondering why.
Thank you for your cute appliques!
Do you have a pattern for a seal applique?
I’m a bit confused. I’m doing the main shell color. Do I join with a slip stitch, or with a single crochet? Second question, so round 1 after joining are single crochets? Thanks!
I have the same question as Angelina, between making the 10 DC in the ring and making 2 DC in each of those for round 2, what does “continue to SC in rounds” mean?
Stop searching here and there for the online card game, am sharing this homepage address which is free games spider solitaire so entertaining and you could be able to play Online and even free of cost spider solitaire card game without download.
I’m also confused… what does “continue to SC in rounds” mean?
