Meet the Wheat Stitch™ Snail with Heart — the slowest, sweetest little crochet companion you’ll ever make. With a heart-shaped shell, squishy body, and tons of personality, this crochet snail pattern is perfect for Valentine’s Day gifts, emotional-support pals, desk buddies, and handmade love tokens that say “I care about you… and I took my time.”

This pattern is designed to be relaxing, approachable, and delightfully fun. You’ll start by crocheting the heart-shaped snail shell in the round in my signature Wheat Stitch™, shaping the heart as you go (this is where the instant “aww” happens). Next, the snail head and body are worked in continuous rounds from head to tail, holding two strands of worsted-weight yarn together for extra squish and stability. Finish your snail with adorable antennae and safety eyes to give it that unmistakable “I’m here for you” expression, then sew the heart shell onto the tail. No tricky joins, no stress—just slow, happy stitching at a perfectly snail-approved pace.

♥️ Printable gift tags are included, making this pattern extra special for gifting, care packages, or craft fairs!

A video tutorial is included to guide you every step of the way.
