To work this pattern, you should be familiar with single crochet, half double crochet, slip stitches, working in front or back loops only, working in a row v.s. the round, and color changes.

This pattern consists of 3 pieces; the head, shell, and face plate. Fair warning, the face plate pieces can be difficult to tell what direction to attach them together and to the head. I've included some pictures to help, but you can also refer to the picture of the full finished nautilus to help you.

If you would like to make some to sell, feel free! Just don't claim you designed the pattern yourself of course. Also feel free to modify or use parts for another project! We love sharing here :D
