This pattern comes with instructions to make small Snails!! The Snail comes with instructions for TWO Bodies (a laying down/horizontal snail body and a Bent/bending upwards body), TWO types of antennae, and TWO Shells (Round Garden snail and Pointed spiral shell!!)!! Everything you see in the photos is included in the pattern. All instructions are carefully depicted with words and photos! This pattern features clear step by step instruction with a lot of row-by-row photos. The gauge is not crucial to the pattern as long as the stitches are tight enough to hold stuffing.
