FThis amigurumi pattern is for my nearly free, Sleeping Snake. He loves to curl up on a rock in the sun and can be made in a variety of colors. Though the pattern itself calls for a solid white snake, I have made this pattern before to resemble a King Snake (see picture below and color change pattern at the end of this post, to make this version of the sleeping snake). It could easily be made in solid green to look like a garden snake as well. The sky’s the limit!

Another detail you can change is whether or not you want this snake to be sleeping or wide awake. On my King Snake above, you can see I used a pair of 6mm safety eyes to give him a wakeful appearance. These safety eyes can be found on Etsy (I purchase mine through 6060’s shop), or sometimes at your local craft store (though sizes available are usually limited in stores).

This pattern would be perfect for beginning crocheters, because there are no pieces to assemble. He is just one long piece from head to tail. You can also make him as long or as short as you’d like by adding or removing rows throughout R20-140.

Materials Needed:

  • Crochet Hook: F
  • White Yarn (Red Heart Super Saver); or whichever color you decide to make your snake (King Snake yarn colors listed at the end of pattern)
  • Black Embroidery Thread; or 6mm safety eyes if you make your snake’s eyes open
  • Polyester Fiberfill Stuffing
  • Yarn Needle/Embroidery Needle

Skills Needed / Terms Used:

  • Magic Ring Technique
  • Crocheting in the Round
  • Sc – Single Crochet
  • Inc – Increase
  • Invdec – Invisible Decrease
  • Sl st – Slip Stitch
  • FO – Finish Off, Bind Off

Purchase the full pattern for $0.99, including detailed instructions and pictures showing how to embroider the facial details on your amigurumi snake!
