Ekans

Ekans

            Ekans is a snake-like Pokémon with purple and yellow coloring. It's underside leading to its tail is yellow, and it has a yellow rattle at the tip of its tail. Ekans have large yellow eyes with slit reptilian pupils. Across its neck is a large yellow band.

            When backstitching the black rings on body and tail, pull thread a little to cause bumps along body.  The body length is up to the person making it.  I did 52 rounds before doing the yellow rattle.  I am hoping to eventually try to design Arbok.  This was an easy pattern to make and design.
