This wonderful free crochet snake pattern from Cuddly Stitches Craft is the absolute perfect starting point for any amigurumi beginner. Sammy the snake makes a fantastic handmade toy! The pattern is very easy to customize – if you want to adjust the length of your snake, you can simply add or subtract a few rounds to make it your own.
Using fine sport weight yarn (#2, 4-ply) and a 3 mm hook, your finished snake will measure about 35.5 inches long and 2.5 inches tall. To help the snake hold its shape and bend easily, the designer recommends stuffing the body quite firmly. If you are making this free crochet snake pattern as a gift for babies or toddlers, be sure to embroider the eyes instead of using plastic safety eyes or buttons to avoid any choking hazards. It is a quick, fun DIY toy that kids of all ages will love to play with.
