Yarn
Scheepjes Catona 4ply, 100% Cotton. 125m per 50g
MC: 25g approx of Tropic (253) for Body, Head, Tail and Bottom Frill.
CC1: 25g approx of Poppy Rose (390) for Shell, Antennae and Heart.
CC2: 10g approx of Tangerine (281) for Shell.
CC3: 10 g approx of Royal Orange (189) for Shell.
CC4: Small amount of Jet Black (110) for Eyes and Mouth.
CC5: Small amount of Bridal White (105) for Eye Highlights.
A cotton yarn works well for Ami as it gives good stitch definition and creates a firm structure so body parts hold their shape well. Catona is a relatively thick 4 ply (US: Sport) - you can substitute a DK Cotton (US: DK/Light Worsted) with a similar amount of metres per 50g.

Tension
24 sts x 27 rows = 10cm measured over dc using 3mm hook.
Tension is not critical for this project but stitches should be tight enough to avoid stuffing showing through.

Pattern Notes
Unless otherwise specified this pattern is worked in the amigurumi style, in a continuous spiral without slip stitching or turning chains.
Use a stitch marker or waste yarn to keep track of the first stitch of each round.
If you do not want to make a Magic Ring you can start each piece by making a chain of 2 and then work the first round into the second chain from the hook.
If you would like to start with a Magic Ring but don’t know how, you can find a Photo Tutorial HERE.
The Shell is made flat using turned Rows. Each Row starts with 1 turning chain - this is not included in the stitch count.
The flat Shell piece is then folded longways and stitched together along the long sides to create a tube which is then stuffed.
The Snail is made of multiple separate pieces sewn together. Unless otherwise stated, finish each piece by pulling the yarn through the last loop and leave a long tail for sewing. Any loose tails at the end can be easily woven in.

UK Crochet Terms - Abbreviations
This pattern is written using UK Crochet Terms - they are NOT the same as US ones - please familiarise yourself with the UK terms to avoid your character’s shape distorting!
The “dc” abbreviation used in this pattern refers to UK double crochet. The equivalent stitch in US terms is single crochet - if you are used to US patterns you need to work single crochet everywhere this pattern says “dc”. If you work US dc (equivalent to UK Treble) the finished item will be elongated and the stuffing will show through.
This pattern also uses UK htr - half treble crochet and UK tr - treble crochet - the US equivalents are US hdc - half double crochet and US dc - double crochet.
If you are used to working in US Crochet Terms you can find a conversion chart HERE.

Increasing and decreasing
You may use either standard increases and decreases in this pattern or, for a much neater finish, invisible ones. FLO = Front loop only.
Decrease - "dc2tog" in pattern.
Invisible decrease: Insert hook in FLO of the two stitches to be decreased, yrh, pull through both front loops, yrh, draw through two loops on hook.
Increase - "2 dc in next st" in pattern.
Invisible Increase: Work 1 dc in FLO of next st and 1 dc in both loops of same st.

Body & Head
The front of the Body & Head is worked first, as one piece. The Tail Section is worked separately and then the two pieces are stitched together once all the parts have been made.
Worked from the bottom upwards. Stuff as you go. This piece uses an Oval Start rather than a Magic Ring - there's a Photo Tutorial showing the principle of the technique HERE.

Making Up
Using the photographs as a guide, pin the pieces together first, checking from all angles to make sure you’re happy with the positioning, then use the long yarn tails or a length of yarn with a yarn needle to stitch the pieces together.
Sew the Tail Section onto the back end of the Body & Head part - the Tail Section curves slightly, make sure it sits so that the curve point upwards.
Sew the Bottom Frill onto the base of the joined Body and Tail Section.

Sew the Eyes in place on the front of the Head, about 6 rounds down from the top and about 3 stitches apart.
Sew the Antennae in place on top of the Head sitting about 2 rounds down from the top.
Sew the Heart in place on the front of the Body, off set slightly to the left.
Place the Shell tube on a surface in front of you with the closed short edge nearest you and the seam on the long edge facing upwards. Starting at the end nearest you, roll the tube up away from you, concealing the seam and creating a smooth spiral. You may find it's easiest to pin it into the spiral shape first to ensure you are happy with the shape before sewing through the layers to secure it in the shape or you can stitch it as you go when rolling it up to hold it in shape.
Once it's secured into a spiral shape, pin the Shell in place on the Snail's back with the open end sitting nearest to his neck. Stitch in place along his back.

Using the photos as a guide, with a yarn needle embroider the following details:
Single stitch highlight on each Eye, using CC5.
The Nose, just below the Eyes using MC - oversew several times in the same place to create a bump.
The smile using CC4.
All done!

About mycrochetchums
I started mycrochetchums at the end of 2020 to give me something to focus on during lockdown and to make creative use of a box of Amigurumi Yarn that was an impulse purchase I was feeling guilty about!
I’m loving creating these cute characters and sharpening my tech skills in the process as I wrangle with managing a website and social media.
Check out the mycrochetchums Facebook page - drop me a message there if you have any feedback about the pattern or would like to share a picture of the end result.
You can also find me on Instagram @mycrochetchums.

I started mycrochetchums at the end of 2020 to give me something to focus on during lockdown and to make creative use of a box of Amigurumi Yarn that was an impulse purchase I was feeling guilty about!
I’m loving creating these cute characters and sharpening my tech skills in the process as I wrangle with managing a website and social media.
