Details About Snake

This charming snake stretches to a playful 55cm (21.6 inches) long - perfect for wrapping around your wrist or displaying on a shelf! While our featured snake showcases a bright orange color that really makes it pop, there are so many exciting color combinations you might want to try.

For a natural look, you could go with earth tones like forest green, warm brown, or sandy beige. For a more whimsical feel, try bright colors like sunshine yellow, royal blue, or vibrant purple. You could even create a rainbow snake by changing colors every few rounds! For a more sophisticated look, try a monochromatic design with different shades of the same color, creating subtle texture variations.

Remember to pick a contrasting color for the eyes to make them stand out. Whether you choose realistic snake colors or go wild with your imagination, the simple design of this pattern lets your color choice be the star. Let your creativity guide you - every snake becomes unique with your personal touch!

 

Recommended Yarn and Crochet Hooks

For this project, I absolutely recommend Loopara 5 ply milk cotton yarn - it's my go-to choice for amigurumi. The yarn's softness and sturdiness create the perfect balance, making your snake both cuddly and durable. Plus, its slight sheen adds a beautiful, premium touch to the finished piece.

For your hooks, you'll want to grab a 3.5mm crochet hook - this size is perfect for creating tight, neat stitches that keep your stuffing secure and give your snake a polished look. The slightly larger hook size compared to typical amigurumi allows for smoother shaping of the long, curved body.

For the color palette, I recommend these Loopara shades: Bright Orange as shown, or Forest Green, Royal Purple, or Ocean Blue for different looks. What I particularly love about milk cotton is how it gets softer with each handling while maintaining its shape, making it perfect for this bendable snake design.

Remember, while these are my tried-and-true recommendations, the most important thing is choosing materials that bring you joy while creating!

Tips: Keep your tension tight and consistent to prevent the wire and stuffing from showing through the stitches. Add fiberfill gradually as you crochet to ensure even stuffing throughout the snake's long body. When inserting the wire, keep it centered and straight to help maintain the snake's shape while allowing it to bend naturally.

 

Crochet Snake Assemble

Crochet Snake Assemble

Apply glue around the eye to ensure it's firmly secured in place.

Tips: When attaching the eyes, test their position before securing with glue - make sure both eyes are level and evenly spaced for the perfect expression. Double-check the alignment while looking at your snake from different angles.

 

Care and Cleaning Instructions

Daily Care Tips

Keep your snake friend in tip-top shape with minimal effort. A gentle brush now and then will keep dust away, and spot cleaning with a slightly damp cloth works wonders for small marks. Be extra careful around the eyes to maintain their secure attachment and sparkle.

Washing Methods

Since your snake has a wire inside, spot cleaning is the best method. If deeper cleaning is needed, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap, being careful not to get the wire too wet. Pat gently with a clean, dry cloth and reshape while drying. Never submerge in water or machine wash.

Storage Suggestions

Your snake loves to coil! Store it in a loose spiral shape to maintain its flexibility. Keep it away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading, and avoid cramped spaces that might permanently bend the wire. A drawer or display shelf where it can rest in natural curves works perfectly.
