Have you always loved snakes, and thought that you might like having a go at making one of your own?
Then what better way to try it out than crochet me! Yes, Yes! Do it!
The upcoming year is the Chinese Year of the Snake so everyone needs to have a snake in the house.
Thanks to wire frame inside me I can bend my tail and neck. I love to dress-up and with some changes in color and accessories you could make me a Santa hat, a graduate’s outfit, Halloween costume, Russian hat, beret and scarf or anything your creativity can think of.
I’m cute in any clothes. I promise to make you smile every time you look at me.
I’ll gladly become a best friend to your children and perhaps even adults.
Welcome me into your home!
