Notes
This amigurumi snake crochet pattern is worked in the amigurumi style unless otherwise stated. Work stitches in a continuous spiral without closing off each round with a slip stitch. You may find it helpful to mark the first stitch of the round, moving the marker up as you go.
The crochet snake is worked from the Head down. A space is left towards the end of the Head which the Body is worked off from. The Tail is worked in the same way, with a space being left towards the end of the Body.
