Snail stitch – Ruby Silver Moon

Learn to knit the Snail Stitch with Rubí Silver Moon quality.

With Rubí Silver Moon, you have to shine. Any stitch we knit with sparkle has to compete with the fiber's own shimmer. That's why in this tutorial, we've decided to go for the rounded shapes that the Snail Stitch gives us, so that both the shine of one of our favorite fibers and the design come together in an unbeatable team.

Rubí Silver Moon is a quality that is lightweight and can accompany you in everyday garments or in accessories for parties.

We show you how to knit this stitch in a video tutorial on our YouTube Channel.
