Summer is a good season to whip up some quick amigurumi projects. These crocheted snakes are simple to make and fun for the kids to play with! I made them with one of my favorite brands of yarn: Red Heart with Love. I love the soft texture of the yarn and vibrant colors. The variegated colors are perfect for a snake body.

What gauge needle did you use?
How much yarn was used?
Hey thanks for the cute pattern just one promblem… As i was making the snake i noticed my snake was coming out stiff instead of flexible… It cant bend or curl up like yours.. Any suggestions ? Please reply back thanks 😉
What yarn are you using? Also, be sure to loosely stuff the body. Hope that helps!
So cute!
This is just so cute I can't help but try and make them. They're darling even if they are snakes!
Thank you, Betty Radcliffe

That’s a creative answer to a dilifcuft question
Vid andra jämna födelsedagar åkte mina föräldrar bort på själva födelsedagen (ja de talade förstås om det för de närmaste). Valet stod mellan att ha öppet hus eller resa bort. I Stockholm. Som ju alltså inte kan kallas för en liten ort.
Looking forward to Terry Minsky’s show. The same creator as one of the great, underrated sitcoms of the last 10 years, “Less than Perfect.” And with Anne Meara too? Love her!
What cute little snakes! Thanks for the pattern I can think of a few little boys that will LOVE them.:)
Sarah these snakes are so cute! Thanks for the pattern! 😀
so creative! I would make these–just gotta figure out crocheting!
This is so perfect considering I live in Alaska and I had never seen a snake (in person) until this June when I went to Georgia to visit family. While I was there a 4 year old little girl saw me crocheting something and asked if I could make a snake. I'm going to make one of these and send it to her!
Congrats on your shout out from Red Heart yarns! Way to go. I love your blog and patterns, everything is so fresh. Thanks for sharing with us!
Do you hapen to have a snake hat pattern? My grandson wants a "snake hat" Thanks
I love this snake pattern! I am having a hard time getting it going though. I understand the magic ring and all, but the first couple of rounds are kicking my behind (maybe it is just the small size of it). Do you by chance have a video clip of this snake being made?
Hi,
Ty very much for You’re pattern! I did not make the same but i used it to make a snake from 1.96 meters (I’m from the Netherlands, don’t now the inces) if you sent me You’re email, i sent you a picture Ty very much!!
Greetings Bianca
I made two of the snakes for my 5 and 2 year old granddaughters. They absolutely loved them.
