Okay, this is probably the absolute best beginners tutorial I've watched. I've wated crochet vids and they just confused me more often than they'd help. But this one I can actually understand, not to mention I can now make snails for my knitted floral wall art I've been working on for a year. XD
I am starting chemotherapy this coming week so I'm hoping to learn this pattern quickly and maybe make some snails during my hours there and give them out to hopefully put a smile on some faces.
Hi, I'm a beginner and I always have such an easy time following your videos. I also find your voice soothing and easy on the nerves :) which is great. So thank you 💗
I did it two times already. The little snails are so cute!!! Thank you very much for this adorable pattern. I personaly did the tail of the snail just a little bit less flat by starting with 4 stiches then 6 and then 8. And I tied a little tiny knot at the end of the feelers, which looks so cute that I could die :)
I love your videos .I have made many things after learning from you .I started crocheting this year only and it my favourite hobby and my favourite thing to do in my free time .i am 11 right now and mabey I am going to crochet for many years
With the help of your tutorial I was able to make my very FIRST crochet animal. While I still need a ton of practice I'm very well pleased with it. Thank you so much and I'm looking forward to watching your other videos 🙏
I'm just a beginner, only started crochet a month ago. I wanted to start making small things. I found this video tonight snd unlike other tutorials on TH-cam I could actually follow this one!
I finally finished an Amigarumi! I have been intimidated by it for over 2 yrs but today I actually finished this snail and the little turtle in another Happy Berry video. These were not a bit difficult. Don't know why I waited so long.. Thank you Laura!!
I had a stroke on Oct 23, 2014 and I have always enjoyed crochet. I started a baby afghan on Oct 1, 2014 on the tunisian lacy stitch. I had nearly finished before I had the stroke. Your tutorials have inspired me to start beginning crochet again. I am working on snail for a gift, Soon, I will try the basic tunsian stitch and finally the tunsian lacy stitch and finish this baby afghan; the baby is due April 5, 2015. Thank you for much.
Suzanne Ware I am so sorry to hear about your stroke, that is awful. I am glad you are on the road to recovery and enjoying some crochet projects! All the best with your recovery Suzanne. (^-^)
I so love yr channel. I've been following u like for a long time. I've been Crocheting for near 35yrs but there's so much still to learn... I Crochet with one & a half arms...yes a half do to the fact that my right arm doesn't function that well, but I still get it done... Keep up the good work, b safe & Happy Crocheting.
Oh my goodness!! These snails are just so adorable! I've already made two and will make more. I plan to make them in different colors and place them in every room !! TY !! .
❤🐌 Love your cute little snail. I’m very new to crochet & this was a perfect project, easy to follow, clear instructions. So pleased with how my snail turned out. Thank You 😘 🐌❤️
*helpful tip* im a beginner and i find doing the beginning in a magic ring instead of 4 chains so much easier. i have never been able to do it with 4 chains but the magic ring is so easy probably because i can see the individual stitches easier
A tip for the Antennae/eyes: You can also make them while doing the body: if you reached the head-area, do 1/3 of a round and than a few chain-stitches. skip the last chain-stitch and do some single crochets into the backside of the next one for a rounded tip. Do slipstiches all the way along the chain back to the round. Do another 1/3 of the round without skipping a stitch and repeat the steps there. do the last 1/3 ff the round and the last few rounds as normal. I already made antennae for a butterfly this way. If they should be eyes, you can sew tiny black beads tu the tips of them.
Great pattern. Only change I made was to make the shell all in one piece. I simply reversed your directions, substituting invisible decreases for increases. It turned out great. I also put safety eyes in the head earlier for added cuteness.
Super cute and easy! Thank you! I used my needle to thread the antenna yarn in one side, thru the body and the out the other side of the head. Then I tied small knots on the tip of each to secure them a bit more. Now to make the environment for this cutie!!
I started to make this cause I’m teaching my friend how to crochet! We’re not in-person teaching, we live in a 2 hour time zone (they’re ahead of me) and we do it over discord! I was confused, and still am. But, in my defense, I work and have been doing a lot of M.C (Magic Circle), INC (Increases), DCR (Decrease), etc, for other things. It’s both me and my friend learning how to this at the same time. Soo. While they sleep I’m gonna figure this out! Thank you so mu h for making this video! It give me something to do and teach about! And the same goes for my friend! I can’t really describe how much this video means to me, so once again, thank you! Edit! So instead of skipping a stitch to increase, I did a double crochet (crochet 2 in the same stitch) once very round. It does add up to 12, as long as you only do one double crochet every 1 round until row 15
I absolutely love your videos. They are so easy to follow. I am just getting started in crochet and I'm an absolute beginner. I have learned so much from your videos. One thing I am struggling with right now is understanding weights of yarn, what is an appropriate weight for a given project,what does it mean to be worsted? Thanks so much for your help! I can't wait to do your turtle and snail.
Thank you so much! I’m an absolute beginner and I found this easy to follow and do!! I’m super proud of my little snail! He’s a little bigger than urs tho because I used a 4mm hook :)
Love these. Was thinking they would make cute pincushions in the sewing room. My daughter has pet snails and is a huge fan of them. She would love these cute little crochet snails in her sewing room.
Oh yipeee! Thanks so much Laura ~ I've been waiting for this with baited breath!! I'm doing a whole collection of your little creatures for a very dear friend's BabyGirl Baby shower if a few days
Hi Laura. Happy Holidays. I made many crocheted gifts this holidays and I am still making some (10 kids, 16.5 grands, 1 great grands, a few nephews, a niece, ect), I made many for your patterns. My mom loved her snail family (Mom, Daddy, and a bitty baby).
I really enjoy your tutorials. This is on my other google account, Suzanne Ware. As I mentioned before, your tutorial inspired me to try crocheting again after my stroke 10 wks ago, You have projects for many levels, from beginners to the more advanced.Some of them at a tried, I and to start again,but I finished some. I have enjoyed the challenges of many of the fiddly ones.
I just finished mine (without eyes or antennae). I just read the comment from the person who made their snail a little hat A snail wearing a hat??? I am dying!!!! Nothing cuter than a snail wearing a hat.❤❤❤❤
I just adore all of your projects especially the rabbits had to redo the head 4 times but i didnt give up and shes cute as a button n sits on a shelf in my kitchen. Thank you so much for all the awesome videos looking forward to more. My husband is even trying to stitch along lol hes getting better!
Sherry Capstraw Oh that's wonderful! I'm so happy you are enjoying my tutorials, and how awesome your husband is joining in too. Thank you for your kind feedback, means a lot.
completely IN LOVE with this pattern! Super easy to make and even the sewing part, which i normally dont really like, was quite enjoyable! Not to mention that the outcome is super cute! Thanks alot for this amazing tutorial! Very informative and easy to follow. 💖🐌
Definitely really late to the game but if you want to make the feelers more secure I wove the strand of yarn in and out a bit then snipped it to the length I wanted. Looks exactly the same but 100% more secure especially for little kids :)
I love your videos, I'm a beginner, and your videos go at a perfect pace for me! I just cannot get the Magic Circle down. I've watched the video over and over, I just cannot get the hang of it. My son is patiently waiting for me to make him his baby turtle LOL
Alexis Hernandez If you struggle with the magic circle, you can always swap it for a chain 4, slip stitch into your first chain to form a loop and then work the same stitches into that loop instead :)
Hey, thank you so much for this video! I recently finished two little snails and I'm sure they're not going to be the last ones! Love these, super adorable💕🥺
Some things that may help! (They did for me personally) On row 12, do a double crochet unit the first stitch (two crochets in the same stitch). Do that until row 15, ONLY ONCE per round. You’ll get 12 total in the end, since it’s increasing by one. Decrease- On row 15, loop one chain in one stitch, then one more in the next. Make sure they’re not finished, cause once you have three on your hook, do a slip stitch through them, then crochet the rest. You can also do an involve decrease, same as normal, expect, slip stitch through 2, then do a double crochet into the last 3. You can look up videos if this isn’t helpful or you want to know more! Also! I suggest you go through both loops in a stitch, instead of one. (You can also make a magic circle, crochet 8, then work your way up to row 11) This is what I did, personally!! For the body!
I love your tutorials & communication ! I made the happy bunny.i keep following all your tutorials as i just started learning crochet .thank you so much Please show front open sweater in size 40 as winter is nearing in south India.🙏🙏❤️❤️
Hi Laura, I know this video is old, but just saw it and made one. They are adorable! I've also made a few burgers and carrots of yours. I can't wait to make the rest of ur fruits and veggies..but I need to buy the yarn. Could you PLEASE recommend a good dk yarn that has good colors for your small fruits and veggies? Ty so much ❤️
I don’t know why, but when I do the 8 sc in the middle of the 4 chains, I end up with 10 stitches instead of 8. I’ve tried half a dozen times and it keeps coming out the same. 😢
Okay, this is probably the absolute best beginners tutorial I've watched. I've wated crochet vids and they just confused me more often than they'd help. But this one I can actually understand, not to mention I can now make snails for my knitted floral wall art I've been working on for a year. XD

the 980k views are me watching this over and over to make a snail army
I just learned how to do them and I’m sure by the end of the night I’ll have about five of em done🤣🥰these are so cute

A tip for the Antennae/eyes:
You can also make them while doing the body:

@@HappyBerryCrochet thank u
very cute! great idea for those bits of yarn.....
I only have a 4mm hook and I’m wondering if that works too?
Could this be achieved by using a regular magic circle as well?
wooooooooooooooooow I've been looking up patterns to make tiny snails since ages. love itttttttttttttttt
zhajoura1987 You are more than welcome, thank you so much for your kind feedback (^-^)
All of your patterns are so cute and so very fun to make! Thank you so much for posting this great video! Cheers!! :D

your videos are very good .It is very easy to follow them .thanks a lot.
lovely.... something that I was looking for years...Thank you so much
Maybe I’m dumb but I’ve tried to do the white part of the snail 20 times and keep having to start over :( the stitches are too hard too see.
As a suggestion, you could also do this with a magic loop and one piece shell. Just a thought! I like to work smarter not harder. :)
These are so cute and super fun to make! thank you for the tutorial!
These are soo cute i going to make one for my bsf
how do you know if it’s the center? im having trouble with keeping track of the center
Thank you for your tutorial! Really easy to follow.
Very cute snail!
I don’t know why, but when I do the 8 sc in the middle of the 4 chains, I end up with 10 stitches instead of 8. I’ve tried half a dozen times and it keeps coming out the same. 😢
