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.

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 6th 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.
