A very easy free crochet snail pattern that you can make using plush yarn. When making a crochet snail, you first start with the shell. Then you will make the head and body. You can attach the snail’s eyes as ready-made eyes, or you can make a larger eye with white yarn around the eye. In this way, the crochet snail will look funnier. Here is this cute amigurumi snail pattern waiting for you below, step by step and free. I would like to thank the designer for this wonderful free crochet snail. I will leave a link below so that you can reach him if you have any questions.

(Alternatively, you can sew them together using a needle and thread).
Fill the inside with stuffing before completely closing.

Attach the eyes on row 4, leaving 6 single crochets between them.
Sew the head to the shell, starting from the 5th row from the back of the head.
Antenna: make 2
Use cream yarn:
Make chain 7, make a single crochet in the 4th chain from the hook, and work slip stitches back down to the starting point.
