This is the IDEAL last-minute little gift for the small children in your life. It is really quick and easy to make with a tiny amount of yarn, and kids love it! I’ve offered it to all ages from three to seven, and they all had great fun with their little snake. It works best with worsted/aran yarn, though I’ve also used DK with success. The DK yarn makes a smaller snake, but it still fits tiny fingers. The eyes are embroidered, and for the tongue you can either choose the easy option, as I did, just by pulling through the tail of yarn, from the wrong side, or you can use felt, and if you’re feeling adventurous, you can crochet a tongue using embroidery thread. The pattern for the tongue is included below the pattern. Have fun, ssssssssssss.
