Crafty Intentions CROCHET PATTERN Mini Sea Slugs Nudibranch pattern Set 2 (printable PDF-file / 148 pages)

Developed by Megan Lapp aka Crafty Intentions, this pattern is for Mini Sea Slugs! This pattern is written in U.S. terminology.

This pattern comes with instructions to make two sizes of Sea Slugs (Small and Teensy), two body positions available in each size (Horizontal and Upright), and three types of Sea Slugs available in each size and position (Anna’s Magnificant Sea Slug aka Chromodoris annae, “Spanish Shawl” Nudibranch aka Flabellinopsis iodinea, and “Lettuc Sea Slug” aka Elysia crispata). All instructions are carefully depicted with words and photos! This pattern features clear step by step instruction with a lot of row-by-row photos. The gauge is not crucial to the pattern as long as the stitches are tight enough to hold stuffing.

This pattern is a total of 148 pages containing a full set of written instructions with photographic illustrations, and there are video tutorials for particular steps and stitches available on my YouTube channel. This Pattern consists of ONE PDF File, and the last 40 pages include 37 pages of Text-Only, Printer-Friendly instructions and 3 pages of the EU Safety and Compliance Document, but I strongly recommend you still refer to the photographic illustrations throughout the pattern if you have any questions.

This pattern is available in English.
