Fill with stuffing, fasten off and cut the yarn.

Shell Wave (half way only)
Insert a new yarn into the 1st FLO of round 20, do dc inc(2dc in 1 stitch) x 18 (36)
Ch1, 15sc, 6dc, 15sc, end with slst (36)
Leave a long yarn for sewing.

Tentacles
Ch5, Slst from the second chain of the hook x4.
Sew blach beads as the eyes, on to the top of the tentacles or use a black embroidery yarn.

Assembly
Go back to all the FLO of round 4, 11 and 19. Insert a new yarn in the same color then slst each sc across the round. When you’re done, take another new yarn and insert from anywhere near the slst (only in round 4 and 11) wrap it under the slst around, pull tight and fasten off, this method is to firm up the shape of the shell.

Place the shell on the part of the body, sew slightly backward toward the tail. Sew the tentacles into the head in between round 2 and 3. I decorated the snail’s shell using beads and french knot with embroidery thread. Feel free to decorate your snail using anything you desire.
Congratulations
