Snakey

Whilst perusing through some beautiful shops in Stamford last weekend, I spotted a hand knitted snake. Unfortunately the shop was closed (shame). I had a look for a knitting pattern to have a go but couldn't find a suitable one. I have only ever made up a pattern once before,  and that was for a very straightforward IPod cover, but I thought I would give it a go.

This is the result.

 

It only took a couple of evenings. 

I used buttons for the eyes, and crocheted a tongue but you could easily knit it. 

Smallest thinks he is lovely and he cuddles him and calls him "snakey".

ahh snakey I love you x
