Hissy Snake Amigurumi Pattern

Hissy Snake Amigurumi by The Perfect Knot

Meet the Hissy Snake!

This little guy came about because my niece came for a visit & asked me to make her a “Wainbowed Snake, wif a tongue & eyes. This long
--------------“, as she held out her little hands to show me just exactly how long he should be.

How could I say no to such cuteness? She is a sweet little 4 year old after all who loves her auntie & who’s auntie loves her. ;)

And so the Hissy Snake was born & when she got him, she was Thrilled to pieces & was loving on him & twirling him around & playing with him the whole time. :) Made this auntie happy just to see it.

I hope you & all your little snake lovers will enjoy making him too.

Add a small amount of Stuffing about every 5-10 rounds as you build. I used about a cotton ball’s size amount of stuffing for each time I stuffed the length of the body. Remember not to over stuff the piece as you want it to still remain flexible & move like a Snake would.

Next 3 Rounds: 1 SC into each St around (12 SC)

Final Round: 1 SC into each St around, Sl St into next St after last SC, Ch 1 & FO leaving a longer tail to sew end closed. (6 SC)

Using the Tapestry needle, stitch the end of the snake closed & weave in your end to secure.

TONGUE

With Pink or Red yarn, Ch 8, Sl St into 6^th Ch from hook, Ch 5, Sl St into same Ch as last Sl St, Sl St into next 2 Ch, Ch 1 & FO leaving a longer tail for sewing.

Weave in your beginning yarn tail & stitch the tongue to the front of the snake’s head where the tongue should be. Weave in all ends to secure & cut excess yarn.
