About this pattern

This little snail always makes me smile. He's sliding along a strip of moss with his rosy cheeks and his spiral shell, on his way to a patch of golden chanterelles.

It's a beginner-friendly pattern with simple shapes and 9 DMC colors: terracotta for the shell, warm beige for the snail, orange and gold for the chanterelles and a soft green for the moss. The spiral is one continuous line in a darker terracotta, so it's easy to follow and very satisfying to stitch.

At 60 x 50 stitches it finishes at about 4.3 x 3.6 inches on 14 count Aida. It fits a 5 or 6 inch hoop and works up quickly, so it's a nice weekend project.

It's a sweet gift for a nature lover or a child, and a fun first pattern if you're teaching someone to stitch. I'd use antique white or cream fabric so the soft colors shine.

Questions

How do I get my pattern?

Right after checkout you land on your order page with download links for every file, plus a "download all" zip. Links work for 7 days, and you can reopen your order page anytime to get fresh links.

Is this a physical kit?

No. This is a digital PDF download. No fabric, thread or hoop is included and nothing is shipped. The floss key lists every DMC color you need.

How do I print it?

Print at 100% scale (or "actual size") on US Letter or A4 paper. The black & white chart saves ink and is easy to read. You can also stitch straight from a tablet.

Does it work with Pattern Keeper?

Yes. A Pattern Keeper friendly PDF is included, so you can import it and mark stitches off as you go. Backstitch (if any) is listed separately, because Pattern Keeper only tracks full crosses.

What is the free bonus pack?

Every order comes with a little thank-you: my one-page beginner cheat sheet and 3 bonus mini patterns (a star ornament, a tiny tree and a little mushroom). They appear on your order page next to your patterns.

Is there a discount if I buy several patterns?

Yes. Buy any 3 or more individual patterns or sets and each one is 25% off, applied automatically in your cart. Bundles already have their own price. During a shop-wide sale you always get the single best discount (they don't stack).

What if something is wrong with my file?

If a file has a problem, we'll fix it or refund you. Just send Sara a message. See the refund policy for details.
