Your very own Rattlesnake scarf!

I used multi-coloured wool for my snake scarf, as I thought it looked similar to snakeskin, once knitted up. If you are feeling daring, you can use different colours to create stripes, and even put a rattle in it’s tail, for your very own Rattlesnake scarf!

Instructions


  1. Step 1 1

    Cast on 20 stitches, and using the basic knit one, purl one, knit until you have achieved your perfect snake length.

  2. 2

    When you have got to a length you are happy with, start decreasing your stitches on each side, to create a point.

  3. Step 3 3

    Once you are left with your basic scarf, stitch up the sides from the tail end, as though you are making a tube.

  4. Step 4 4

    Around 8 inches from the end, you need to stop, and stitch around the tube to gather in and make your snake’s ‘neck’.

  5. Step 5 5

    Do the same at the end, so you are left with a pocket, to fill with toy stuffing. You can then stitch this up, remembering to attach the eyes.

  6. Step 6 6

    Once the head is finished, make a tongue with the red felt, and tie a smart bow around his neck.

  7. Step 7 7

    Et voila, Mr Snakey, ready to wrap around your neck.
