Snakes seem to get a lot of bad press and most of the time, I don’t think its justified. It’s one thing to have a phobia, I understand, but that doesn’t mean hate needs to be spread! Snakes are just trying to live and exist like the rest of us and I quite personally think they can be so cute!
They are so interesting and there are a few crochet artists who actually have their own pet snakes! And now, you can be one of the them by creating your own free crochet snake amigurumi from my pattern below!
Do you have a pet snake yourself? Let me know down below!
So here’s what you’ll need:
1 Skein in Big Twist Soft (Avocado)
1 Skein in Lion Brand’s Basic Stitch Premium (In Raspberry)
1 Skein in Lion Brand’s Basic Stitch Premium (In Black)
1 Skein in Lion Brand’s Basic Stitch Premium (In White)
- Any worsted weight yarn will work!

Insert your safety eyes in Row 11 with 8 stitches apart! This may be an easier time to put in your eyelashes too if you wanted to do those!

Finish off and leave tail for sewing
Tongue:
Ch 7
In second chain from hook, sl st. Sl st into next 2 stitches. Ch 4, sl st into first chain from hook and sl st back to chain. Instead of going into the same one you cahined from, sl st into the next stitch and sl st into the next 2 stitches, equallying 3 stitches.

In white, Sc 3 into Magic Ring.
Rnd 1: Sc around (3)
Rnd 2: Inc, sc, inc (5)

Assembly
It’s not too much, just putting the tail together, sewing on the face, and embroidering the small details! Here is how the tail will look – you’ll be seaming through with your own newly attached yarn!
Use Pins to hold it all in place and take a new piece of yarn and attach it to the back of the tail. Seam through your body and tail to hold it in place!
And now just sew on the face and add all your own little facial details!
