Free crochet snail pattern: a Snail with a Mushroom Shell amigurumi, about 8 cm tall in DK yarn with a 2.5 mm hook. This cream snail has long eye stalks with black eyes, rosy cheeks, a tiny smile and a red toadstool cap with white spots as its shell. You need about 80 m of yarn: 45 m beige, 15 m red, 10 m cream, 5 m white and 5 m blush pink. Plan on roughly 3 hours. It suits a cottagecore shelf, a garden-lover gift or a desk friend. Turn the 3D model around to see the mushroom shell and the tapered tail, then crochet it round by round.
