Let’s Crochet the Shell Part of the Amigurumi Snail Pattern

Shell

Begin with color 1, chain 9 and begin in the 2nd ch from the hook. No need to cut color 1. We will take it up again after the next color change. Crochet in rows.

  • Rnd 1: 7sc, 4sc/st, 7sc (18)
  • Change to color 2, 2 tch
  • Rnd 2: dc, (hbob)*6, (2 hbob/st)*4, (hbob)*6, dc (22)
  • Change to color 1, 2 tch
  • Rnd 3: BLO: 7sc, (sc, inc)*4, 7sc, tch (26)
  • Rnd 4: FLO: 7sc, (2sc, inc)*4, 7sc, tch (30)
  • Rnd 5: BLO: 7sc, (3sc, inc)*4, 7sc (34)
  • Change to color 3, 2 tch
  • Rnd 6: sc, bob, 3sc, bob, sc, inc, sc, bob, 2sc, inc, bob, 3sc, (sc, bob)/st, 3sc, bob, inc, 2sc, bob, (3sc, bob)*2, slst into the same st, 2 tch (38)
  • Rnd 7: 7 hdc, (5 hdc, hdc inc)*4, 7 hdc (42)
  • Rnd 8: 42 dc into the bridge in front of the FLO (42)

Cut the thread and sew up all threads. After crocheting both parts, leave a long thread (50cm) for sewing. In this picture, you can see the described bridge from round 8.

Put both parts together (the outsides are facing each other) and sew them together using the 50cm long thread. Only go through the inside facing loops while sewing. Cut the thread and turn the piece inside out.

Hold the shell upside down and slip stitch with the body color in the left corner of one short side. Sc along the following long, short, and long side again. Place the last short side aside, as the neck will be sewn on this side later. Don’t cut the thread, crochet into the BLO as follows:

  • 5 tch, slst, (3 ch, slst, 5 ch, slst)* until the end of the sc

End with a slst, cut the thread about 100cm long. You can use this thread to sew on the shell into the body and neck later.

Tip: For better results, crochet the ch loosely. Use a hook size larger if it’s too difficult for you.
