Switch Things Up

I absolutely love how this pattern pushes your crochet boundaries while creating something truly magical! The jacquard colorwork technique used for the striped belly is such a game-changer - it creates professional-looking color changes that really make this snake special. What I find most exciting is how the wire armature transforms this from a simple stuffed toy into an interactive, poseable character.

The attention to detail in the facial features really brings Slythie to life - from the embroidered eyelashes to the tiny white bead teeth, every element adds personality. I particularly enjoy working the bonus accessories because they tell a complete story. The house crest with its intricate embroidery work, the magical locket with metallic threads, and that perfectly striped scarf all come together to create a cohesive character.

This pattern taught me so much about advanced color work and construction techniques. The way you build the head in two pieces and join them creates such a perfect shape, and learning to work jacquard while maintaining neat edges was a real skill-builder. It's one of those patterns that challenges you to grow as a crocheter while creating something you'll treasure forever!

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Forgetting to mark the beginning of rounds can lead to misaligned pattern pieces and uneven shaping ✗ Not stuffing firmly enough during construction can result in a floppy, misshapen snake that won't hold poses ✗ Cutting yarn threads too early when doing jacquard colorwork can create loose ends and uneven color transitions ✗ Skipping the wire safety precautions can create choking hazards or sharp edges that make the toy unsafe for children

Assembly Instructions

  • Stuff the head firmly with synthepus while crocheting, ensuring even distribution for proper shaping

  • Attach safety eyes between rounds 8-9 with approximately 11 stitches distance, securing felt mask pieces first
  • Embroider facial features including eyelashes, nostrils, mouth, and eyebrows using embroidery floss and black threads
  • Sew white bead teeth under the embroidered mouth and attach the red embroidery floss tongue
  • Continue stuffing body while working jacquard colorwork, maintaining firm but not tight filling throughout

  • 💡Use stitch markers to track beginning of rounds, especially during jacquard color changes and shaping
  • 💡Wire armature should be used with caution as it is not safe for babies and young children
