Crochet Snake Tutorial | Beginner Friendly | Sammy the Snake

[@kaihopper-h9v]

To anyone who wants a written version of the video; Ill attach time stamps so you can follow along! :) this tutorial seems super lovely I highly recommend using stitch markers at the end of each round so you dont get lost St = stitch Sc = single crochet MR = magic ring Inc = increase Dec - decrease TIV = time stamp on where this is in the video (0) = number of stitches you should have at the end of the round R0 = the round x2 = two times Head: TIV; 3:40 - R1: 6 sc in mr (6) TIV: 4:17 - R2: inc in every st (12) TIV: 5:00 - R3: 12 sc (12) TIV: 5:56 - R4: 1 inc, 1 sc (18) TIV 6:46 - R5 : 1 sc in every st (18) TIV 7:23 - R6: 1 inc, 2 sc repeat that until round is finished (24) TIV 8:00 - R7-R10: sc 24 for rounds 7-10 (If this is confusing go to 8:00 in vid!!) TIV: 9:30 - R11: dec ONLY 6 times, sc 12 (18) TIV: 11:54 - R12: 1 dec , 1 sc repeat until round is finished (12) TIV: 12:44 - R13: 1 dec, 4 sc ONLY x2 (10) Add eyes around row 7-8 or wherever you feel would look nice Stuff head Body: TIV: 14:05 - R14 - R81: Basically 10 sc for 67 rounds Stuff every 10 rounds so its easier for you Tail: TIV: 15:15 - R82; 1 dec, sc 3 x2 (8) TIV: 16:24 - R83; 2 sc, 1 dec x2 (6) TIV: 16:55 - r84: 6 sc (6) Add stuffing Tiv 18:15 - 1 dec, 1 sc x2 and then finish off your tail with a slip stitch, cut off excess I hope this helps and possibly gets a pin so others can see I know im late but hopefully itll help those who view this in the future :))

[@Xena-zb3zl]

omg thank you so much, being a person who needs music in the background to help me focus but also wanting to watch new tutorials it's very helpful to not have to pause and play the music or video especially since it's all on one device when it's all written down :)

[@kaihopper-h9v]

@@Xena-zb3zl yeah I totally get that !! I'm the same way. It was difficult for me to go through the tutorial without an actual written version so to make things easier I wrote it down for everyone :))

The head was so easy to follow along and it turned out so adorable, now for the super long body. Your instructions are clear and precise and is super easy to follow with basic crocheting skills

[@makaylafriend]

Yay! I’m so glad it was easy to follow. The body does seem like it’s never going to end sometimes but it will be so worth it. You can also change how long you want it to be by adding or taking away rows.

[@Coke-a-cola662]

If you want to yse a stich marker but dont have any, you can also use a pin like for those boards. You can also use a clothing pin or even a piece of string. Anything will work if it can go through the yarn and stay in that spot. Hope this helped. 😊 You still here? Well.. if you keep going ur a legend. If you dont keep going your still a legend 😊 U dont gotta but pls like if you can this took a while 😢 Ive never gotten a single like before btw :(

my husband stumbled across your toturital , and said it would be a nice stufed toy for our cats, you never said to close off each row, or to chain one after a row, my head looks alright, now im working on the body part

[@makaylafriend]

I didn’t say to do that because I don’t do that. I continue crocheting without chaining one. It creates a smoother transition when doing single crochets. It prevents the seam line that is created with the slip stitch and chain one that you are talking about.

Great pattern! Making one for my daughter. Just one question, which side of the head is the top? Is it the side with 6 dec or is it the opposite side of the 6 dec? Thanks! 😊🐍

[@makaylafriend]

The side with 6 decreases is the top. That way the bottom of the head is flat. It helps it sit on a table. Thank you so much for using my pattern!
