Sally the snail caddy might not be the fastest, but she gets there in the end – with all the kit you need for crafting. She is 8 inches tall (when made with the recommended materials).

It is clear to follow with detailed instructions and lots of pictures for step by step making and assembly. There are also picture instructions for colour change, back loop only and front post stitch.
