AMIGURUMI KIT - THE SKIING SNAIL

Crochet your skier snail with the DMC kit

An amigurumi with rhythm and personality that brightens up any space.

Joanna Hateley's Skier Snail is an intermediate kit designed to let you enjoy the process and be proud of the result. We love how the blend of Happy Cotton with the fluffy touch of Happy Chenille makes the shell and details "come to life" from the very first rounds.

We value projects that teach something new without being overly complicated. This skier snail amigurumi delivers: it's entertaining, perfects technique, and looks impeccable as a gift or decorative piece.

• Original design by Joanna Hateley with very defined finishes.

• Clear instructions in several languages and step-by-step visual support.
• Intermediate level project ideal for consolidating increases, decreases, and assembly.
• Everything comes in the box: open, crochet, and enjoy.

  We know the pattern guides color changes and piece placement well, ensuring the "skier" pose is balanced.

Materials and feel

  Carla highlights that the contrast in textures helps define the snail's shell and accessories without needing to complicate the pattern.

Approximate measurements of the finished amigurumi

• Height: 12 cm
• Length: 15.5 cm
  We suggest placing it near natural light: the Happy Cotton color stands out and the chenille looks especially fluffy.

Our tips for a 10/10 finish

We recommend stuffing in thin layers and closing with short, regular stitches to maintain the shape. Carla prefers to attach the eyes first to "read" the expression before closing the head. Maite, a detail enthusiast, reviews the edge of the shell with a strand of Mouliné for a more defined outline.
