I can’t resist grass Pokemon! I wanted to reproduce Snivy’s swoopy S curve in crochet. After lots of experimentation and several prototypes, I came up with this pattern. This is the first pattern I’ve written out in full. I hope you enjoy it!

Snivy’s body is made of two long curved pieces seamed together along the sides. Most of the shaping is done with short rows.

Most of the pattern is only written instructions. The tail piece is both written and charted.
