🧵 The complete kit
The DMC Skiing Snail Amigurumi Kit is a project designed by Joanna Hateley, created for anyone who wants to make a cute crocheted skiing snail without having to search for materials. This complete amigurumi kit includes everything you need: quality DMC yarns, hypoallergenic stuffing, a 3mm crochet hook, and a sewing needle. You don't need to buy anything else — just open the box and start right away.
The format is designed for those who already have experience with basic crochet stitches and want to try an intermediate-level project. The skiing snail is an original and decorative subject, perfect for windowsills, bookshelves, or as a handmade gift idea. The instructions are accessible via a multilingual QR code, with an Italian version available, so you can follow every step clearly.
🧬 The yarns included: DMC quality for a perfect result
The kit includes a selection of DMC yarns designed to ensure softness, stitch definition, and durability. You will find 2 skeins of 20g Happy Cotton 100% cotton, DMC's iconic yarn for amigurumi, soft to the touch and available in bright colors. Natural cotton is ideal for projects intended for children or for decorations that need to last over time, because it does not irritate the skin and retains its shape even after numerous washes.
Completing the kit is 1 skein of 15g Happy Chenille 100% polyester, a velvet-effect yarn that adds texture and volume to the little snail. Polyester ensures a soft, plush surface, perfect for tactile details. In addition, the kit includes small quantities of Cotton Wool 100% cotton and Mouliné DMC 100% cotton for embroidering expressive details such as eyes, mouth, and decorations. Each yarn is chosen for a specific purpose, and together they create a harmonious and professional result.
📦 Accessories and tools: everything included, no additional purchases
One of the main advantages of this complete amigurumi kit is that you don't have to search for anything. In addition to the yarns, you will find a 3mm crochet hook included, the ideal size for working with Happy Cotton and Happy Chenille with the correct tension. The 3mm crochet hook ensures compact and defined stitches, which are essential for amigurumi, where the structure must be tight to prevent the stuffing from coming out.
The kit also includes hypoallergenic stuffing in a sufficient quantity to fill the little snail, and a sewing needle for sewing the parts together and embroidering the final details. The stuffing is soft, lightweight, and safe, also suitable for projects intended for children. With everything you need in a single package, you can start right away without wasting time on searches or separate purchases.
🧶 Recommended work and instructions
The project is classified as intermediate level, so it is suitable for those who already know the basic crochet stitches: chain, single crochet, increase, and decrease. You don't need to be an expert, but you need to be familiar with the amigurumi technique, because the little snail requires working in the round, color changes, and assembling multiple parts. If you have already made at least one simple amigurumi, this kit is perfect for taking the next step.
The instructions are accessible via the QR code included in the package, with versions available in Italian, English, French, Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese, German, and Japanese. You can follow the tutorial step by step from your smartphone or tablet, with clear images and detailed explanations. This digital format allows you to always have the instructions at hand without risking losing paper sheets.
✨ Why choose the DMC Skiing Snail Amigurumi Kit
Compared to generic kits or DIY projects where you have to search for every material separately, this complete DMC kit solves the problem of compatibility between yarns, tools, and instructions. Everything is already coordinated: the colors are chosen by the designer, the quantities are calculated precisely, and the crochet hook is the right size. You don't risk buying too little yarn or using the wrong crochet hook that ruins the tension of the work.
In addition, the project designed by Joanna Hateley guarantees an original design with attention to detail. The skiing snail is not a generic subject: it has personality, it is fun to make, and the final result is a decorative object that catches the eye. Perfect for anyone looking for a creative project to display at home or to give as a gift to someone who loves handmade items.
🎨 What you can make
With this kit you make a complete skiing snail amigurumi with details: body, shell, skis, and accessories. The final result is a decorative object about 10-12 cm tall (approximate size), perfect for displaying on shelves, windowsills, or desks. The little snail is stable, soft to the touch, and durable, thanks to the quality of the DMC yarns and the amigurumi technique that creates a compact structure.
👩🎨 Who it is suitable for
This kit is designed for those who already have experience with crochet and know the basic amigurumi stitches. It is not suitable for absolute beginners, because it requires familiarity with working in the round, color changes, and assembling multiple parts. If you have already made at least one simple amigurumi (like a ball or a heart), you are ready for this project.
It is perfect for hobbyists looking for a creative project to work on in their free time, for those who want to make an original handmade gift, or for those who collect themed amigurumi. The skiing snail is also an excellent choice for those who love winter subjects or amigurumi with personality, different from classic kawaii animals.
