〰️ The pearl of your amigurumi collection

Get ready to stitch up something seriously cute with the Wheat Stitch™ Clam. This little sea cutie is worked in the round in Wheat Stitch™, which gives the outer shell its soft, textured look.

It’s part of the Hooked on the Sea collection of six ocean animal amigurumi, all made with Wheat Stitch. Finish with a playful ruffle and a tiny crochet pearl tucked inside.

✨ What makes it work

• Two-tone shell. Crochet the outer shell, then switch to a lighter shade for the inner shell and join them.
• Closes like a real clam. Slip stitch the top and bottom shells together.

• You’re not on your own. Video tutorial and written pattern included.
