| Plush Clams in Crochet |
The expression “Happy as a Clam” is short for “Happy as a Clam at High Tide” (when it can't easily be dug up and eaten). These hand-crocheted clams are always happy because they are soft and cuddly plush toys.
Crocheted clams are so cute they would make anyone happy. These handmade clams can be found in the Etsy Shop of Coastal Crochet Crafts.Seaside Stuffie
These sweet seaside stuffed clams are handmade in crochet with yellow, blue and burgundy acrylic yarn. They live in a brown clamshell lined with tan yarn.
Crocheted clams have black plastic craft eyes for features and are stuffed with soft polyfil. They measure just 3 inches across and are surrounded by a 4 inch brown clamshell. This clam and her clamshell make a cute two-piece set.
Clams can also be created in any colors you desire. :)
Clams as Food

Since we all know that 'real' clams are delicious to eat, you might like to know that February 25th is “Clam Chowder Day”. Celebrate by having a bowl of yummy clam chowder of your choice (my favorite is New England Clam Chowder). Just don't let your crocheted pet clam know.

For a tasty snack for a party or any get-together, here's a recipe for my personal homemade clam dip to serve with chips or pretzels.

lol, these are very cute! I look forward to seeing the choice items that are selected to be crocheted, and this is very different - they could be used at a table setting where a seafood dinner is the theme! one beside each plate (kids would love that)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea, Barbara. I can just see a collection of these little crocheted clams as place settings for a seafood dinner. And you are right - kids would love them. You could also perhaps use them for a beach-theme dinner party or kids summertime birthday party with these little clams as the take-home 'party favor' treat for the kids.
DeleteAll of your crocheted critters are fabulous! Who would have ever thought a clam could be so adorable. Of course, I love the little blue clam, but they are all positively precious!
ReplyDeleteAwww, my crocheted clams are so happy you think they are adorable, Mouse. Thanks for coming by to visit them.
ReplyDeleteSuch cute little crocheted clams! It's a perfect day here to celebrate Clam Chowder Day, and I promise not to tell the cute crocheted critters!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy a bowl of clam chowder today, Susan. My crocheted clams won't mind. :)
DeleteThese crocheted clams are precious! I love the Yellow one. hmm, might have to make one for myself. I think I have the yarn for it...I don't eat clams so they are safe from me. LOL
ReplyDeleteThese little clams are fun to crochet, Heather. I just sent you a link to the pattern I used. :)
DeleteYour crochet creations are always so delightful! I've never seen a more beautiful clam. Truly adorable Elf!
