DIY Fluffies shares an adorable free amigurumi snail pattern that is perfect for beginners. This easy project is incredibly versatile since you can make it using any yarn from your stash. If you choose a standard sport weight yarn, your finished snail will stand a cute 6 inches tall, but you can also swap in super bulky yarn to create a fun, giant plush version instead.
The most unique part of this DIY project is the spiral shell, for which you’ll be using two strands of yarn at the same time to create a beautiful, thick texture. The step-by-step instructions take all the complexity out of the shaping, leaving you with a charming little creature. It is a fantastic, quick project for anyone looking to build confidence with basic amigurumi shapes while creating a sweet handmade gift or nursery decoration.
