POSABLE LITTLE SNAKE


This is a pattern was a request from my wife.  She found a picture of one similar online and asked me if I could make one for her.  One turned into five, each in a different color.  I am also regretting making even one for her because I am constantly finding one of them wrapped around my stuff.

  2. I've only just found this pattern but love it! I whipped up a smaller version this afternoon. So very cute thank you for sharing. Just a quick question. Row 51 of tail makes 4 stitches not 6 am I missing something? I just skipped this row and he turned out fine! Thanks again
