Sss-omething new has arrived!  Meet my snake plushie / large keyring. This pattern is quick, suitable for adventurous beginners, and perfect for creating the ultimate squishy companion. Ready to customise with your choice of colours, these little guys are ready to slither into your heart!

The pattern is written in English and uses U.S terminology.

A basic knowledge of stitches is advised but instructions for special stitches are included. This pattern uses Slip Stitches to create the shaping and these can be a bit fiddly to spot so i highly recommend using stitch markers.

You can easily substitute the yarn in the pattern for another. If changing ply simply adjust your hook size accordingly. This will however affect the finished size.
