These posable snakes are a favorite around our house when the grandkids come to visit! Here is the pattern for this guy.
Posable Crochet Snake
Materials:
• Sport weight yarn
• 3.5mm E crochet hook
• 2 bendable foam hair curlers • Masking tape
• Stuffing
• 4 or 6 mm safety eyes
This snake is made with a short starting chain and worked in rounds of sc. He can be made as long or as short as you want.

This snake is made with a short starting chain and worked in rounds of sc. He can be made as long or as short as you want.
To make this snake posable, tape the two curlers end to
end with masking tape. This will also serve as most of the
stuffing for your snake.
9. *Sc in 4, dec.* Repeat to end of rnd.
10. *Sc in 5, dec* Repeat to end of rnd. sc in last 2 st.
11 Sc in each sc until you reach the length you want your snake to be.
Stuff head of snake firmly and insert taped foam curlers into the body. Stuff tail of snake before making decrease rounds and closing.
When you have the length you want, begin to decrease sc in the remaining rounds until closed.
Eyes:
With white yarn make a magic circle with 6 sc. Pull circle together and make a 2nd row of 6 sc. Place safety eye in the center of each eye and stitch eyes to top of head. I was not able to secure the eyes with the washer because there was not enough room inside the eyeball, so I secured them with glue. An alternative could be to place the eyes as soon as the head is crocheted so the safety eyes could be pushed through to the inside of the head and the washers placed. This is what I will do with the next snake I make.

Chain 7. Sc in 2nd. ch. from hook and next 4 chains.
Make 3 sc inc. in next chain. Rotate your work and
make a sc in each of next 4 chains followed by another
3 sc inc. in the last chain. Place a running stitch
marker to keep track of the rows.

Embroider on a mouth if you want and crochet a chain for
the tongue and sew on.
The hair is simply strands of yarn looped through a stitch and pulled tight.
He’s a pretty simple little snake and could be embellished in a number of ways. Little horns, spikes or antenna would be cute.
I hope you enjoy this pattern. I did kind of make it in a hurry, so if you have any questions, feel free to contact me and I’ll do my best to answer them.
Blessings!
