Snail Coaster

This pattern is provided as part of a tutorial on crocheting in the 3rd loop. The shell of the snail coaster is worked in the 3rd loop in a continuous round, so it's an excellent way to practice this technique. The coaster only uses a small amount of worsted weight yarn, so it makes an excellent stash buster. I used a size H (5.0mm) crochet hook, but you can use another hook since gauge is not crucial (although if it's much smaller, it won't work as a coaster). You will also need a tapestry needle for weaving in ends and I recommend using a stitch marker to help you keep your place in the pattern. ***You may not copy this pattern, repost it anywhere (either altered or in its original form), or claim it as your own.
