This pattern provides two contoured snake toys, one wavy and one in a spiral. What colour will you make them…?

Difficulty: Easy

You will need:
• Wool in your chosen colours, max 25g per snake. I used Double Knit (8-6 ply, “light worsted”.)
• Knitting needles – I used UK size 11 (3.0mm, US size 2.5)
• For the forked tongue, I used thinner needles, UK size 14 (2.0mm, US size 0)
• Blunt sewing needle with an eye big enough to thread your wool through
• Tiny little bit of black or dark brown wool to stitch the eyes
• Small amount of stuffing

Stitches used: k2tog, kfb, sl1p
