For personal reasons I decided my best friend needed a toy cobra.
It could also be used as a door draft stopper - or without stuffing it can be used as a scarf.

I used some round about DK weight yarn feels like pure wool, in mottled brown, off white, and some black I had left over.

If you want to try this pattern, have fun. I didn’t explain each step, especially the body part is free for your own creativity. So it’s more a guide-line than a pattern. I strongly advise reading the pattern through entirely prior to starting :)
I simply wrote down what I did, without knowing if it would work out. For my cobra, it did. I hope there won’t be any mistakes and it will work out well for you, too! It helps to google some “Naja naja” photos before starting to look at the normal range of colour patterns cobras can have.

I used the Magic Loop method, because I don’t like DPNs, with a Turkish Cast-on ( this video explains it well youtube-link )
