This pattern is to create a life-sized variegated snake plant in crochet. It’s a little challenging with working onto a wire but the actual stitches are simple and once mastered you can play with the size and type of snake plant you make.
Height: 55cm tall.
Tension is not important

The centre of each snake plant leaf is worked in 2 strands of 8 ply with a 6mm hook over a folded length of wire which acts as a spine. 5 leaves are made in my version but instructions given allow you to make the size of the leaves and the number you would like to suit the pot you use.

Materials:

• 6mm and 5mm crochet hooks. 
• 3 balls DL 8ply yarn in your choice of colours 
• Darning needles for sewing in ends
• 2 pairs of scissors
• Stitch markers in a variety of colours and sizes
• Duck Tape
• Wire from a roll 1mm in thickness
• Plant pot of size to suit the project 
• Decorative stones to top the pot
• Felt in a shade to work as supporting “soil”
• Rotary cutter for felt (optional) and mat
• Pliers with a built in wire cutter
• Tape measure
