| 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.
