Knitted Stripy Snake - Ta Dah!!

Hello!  Here is something I finished in December, for my nephew for Christmas...


A huge long snake!!  I am sooo pleased with it!


He's got two buttons for each eye, and a red felt tongue.  Around his neck is a knitted red bow-tie... what a smart snake!



And here is the star picture of the snake.... with the little angel....!!


I love that picture!  Gorgeous!

That gives a better idea of the size.  And this shows it off even more, around my brother's neck...


And... oh no!!  Maybe Sammy isn't such a nice snake after all... he's attacking my Dad!!!


(I wonder how many Christmas drinks had been consumed at that point?!?!  We know how to have fun with craft!!)

By the way, thanks for the comments on my Zebra Hat - I am working on writing the pattern for it!

  5. Oh nooooo is your dad ok??? Hahaha fun x-mas....

    Anyway the snake is lovely and so much bigger than I thought. Nice to have a big snuggly friend when you are little.

  6. That snake is adorable! And it's knitted so seamlessly. I always manage to get a couple of tight stitches in there.

    Sammy reminds me of my old public library, where there was a massive fabric snake, like 30 feet long, and my favourite thing to do was mush it into a comfortable position, climb in, and read a book.

  11. Great idea, but you have to make it about two times smaller than mine, I suppose, and stuff it with something a bit heavier. If you have been interested just click EvolutionWriters. I once made a tiny snake out of mum's quiting leftovers and filled it with cherry pits, I think a large one could work as a draft excluder or even a door stopper, but would you be able to eat such a lot of cherries?

    1. Sorry for the late reply. I don't have a pattern - I just knitted stockinette stitch stripes and then sewed the two sides together to make the tube. There may be patterns online for something similar!
