Knit on Size 2 double-point needles with gold crochet thread and a set of Lion Brand Bonbons (in Celebrate), this shrewd snake is filled with pipe cleaners that let him hold whatever shape you’d like him to have. Duplicate stitch gives him his scales, so the only colorwork necessary is switching yarns for stripes and doing one row of MC/CC with each color change. For a more realistic-looking snake, try making him in natural colors like brown and green, with duplicate stitch creating the stripes of a garter snake or the diamonds of a copperhead.
