Switch Things Up

I love experimenting with different color combinations for this snake pattern! Try making it in rainbow stripes throughout the body, or go for a more realistic look with brown and tan colors. You could even create a galaxy snake using sparkly yarn in deep blues and purples. For a seasonal twist, I've made Christmas snakes in red and green, and Halloween versions in orange and black. The striped tail section is perfect for adding your own creative flair - maybe polka dots instead of stripes? Or metallic accents for a magical serpent? Don't be afraid to play with textures too - mixing matte and shiny yarns can create stunning effects. The beauty of this pattern is how adaptable it is to your personal style and color preferences!

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Overstuffing the body which creates a stiff stick-like appearance instead of a cuddly snake ✗ Placing safety eyes too far apart or too close together, affecting the snake's friendly expression ✗ Not maintaining consistent tension throughout the long body, causing uneven thickness along the snake ✗ Forgetting to stuff as you go along, making it difficult to stuff the entire length properly

Assembly Instructions

  • Secure safety eyes firmly between rounds 5 and 6, ensuring they are evenly spaced
  • Stuff the snake body consistently as you work, maintaining a soft but firm feel
  • When changing colors for the striped tail section, carry yarn carefully to avoid loose ends
  • Weave in all yarn ends securely, especially at color changes
  • Shape the snake's head gently after stuffing to create a rounded, friendly appearance

Important Notes

  • 💡Fill the snake gradually as you work - don't wait until the end to stuff
  • 💡Keep tension consistent throughout the long body to maintain even thickness
  • 💡Don't overstuff as this will make the snake stiff and stick-like rather than cuddly
  • 💡Use stitch markers to keep track of your rounds, especially during the long middle section
  • 💡Take breaks during the repetitive middle section to avoid hand fatigue

FAQs

How long should my finished snake be?

The finished snake should measure approximately 24-26 inches long, depending on your yarn weight and tension.

What yarn weight works best for this pattern?

Worsted weight (4) plush or velvet yarn works perfectly for this pattern, creating a soft and cuddly texture.

Can I make the snake shorter or longer?

Yes! Simply adjust the number of rounds in the main body section (rounds 11-84) to make it shorter or longer as desired.

What size safety eyes should I use?

6-8mm safety eyes work well for this pattern, giving the snake a friendly but proportionate appearance.

How do I prevent the snake from looking too stiff?

Stuff lightly and evenly as you go, avoiding overpacking the fiberfill which can make the snake rigid and stick-like.
