Shelby the Executioner

🐌 Meet Shelby – Executioner Snail Crochet Pattern

Meet Shelby the Executioner, a murderous little snail with a rather unfortunate habit of beheading other snails!

Whether you're making him for someone with a dark sense of humour, adding him to a collection of weird and wonderful crochet creatures, or simply looking for something completely different to crochet, Shelby is a memorable and entertaining project.
