Out with the stuffy winter air, in with the freshness of spring!
This beautiful doorstop-snail helps you gladly with that.
It also makes an awesome toy. Please fill it with something soft then though... ;)
As reinforcements: cute butterflies!
As usual this doorstop has a handle, too. With this snail you can even pick the side on which you want to put it.
When you want to make a stuffed toy just skip the handle.
The pattern for the butterflies is included, of course.
Optional: put a mouth on your snail. That's also described in great detail within the pattern.
Note:
My patterns have two parts.
You're a pro? Great, then the first part of my pattern is most likely all you need. You'll find pure crochet instructions there with a few pictures on the side. Have a quick look on page 2 to check which pages to print (the box in the upper left corner).
You're a beginner? Then additionally to the pure crochet instructions you'll find lots of step-by-step instructions for the different steps in the second part of this pattern. Everything is explained in detail with lots of pictures and in understandable words.
