There’s something oddly fitting about making a snail stitch by stitch. Real shells grow as a logarithmic spiral – each round proportionally bigger than the last, the same curve a crocheter coils out from a magic ring and a knitter shapes round by round. Nature’s been working in the round far longer than we have. So whether your tool of choice is a hook or a pair of needles, give a snail a chance. Here are 7 snail patterns worth adding to your queue … and for check out Etsy for even more snail patterns.
