Softer Squishy Crochet Snake Amigurumi Tutorial

This crochet snake is a fun and cuddly craft project! Made with soft, colorful yarn, it's perfect for everyone, from beginner to advanced crafters. You start by crocheting a small head and then continue with a long, spiraled body that makes this snake extra cool.

Crochet Snake

Whether you want a playful toy for a child or a unique handmade decoration, this crochet snake is delightful. Grab some yarn and a crochet hook, and you can create a charming snake that brings a smile to anyone who sees it!

Materials Needed:

  • Yarn (Parfait Chunky by Premier recommended for its softness)
  • Crochet Hook (4.0mm or size suited to your yarn choice)

Pattern:

Starting the Head:

Start with a chain of two instead of a magic ring due to yarn snagging issues.

  • Round 1: In the first chain, do 6 single crochets (sc) in the same hole.
  • Round 2: Increase (inc) in the whole round by doing two sc in each stitch (12 stitches at the end).
  • Round 3: One sc in each stitch around (still 12 stitches).

Shaping the Head:

  • For Round 4, to create the point for the nose, inc then do one sc; repeat around (18 stitches).
  • Round 5-7: Sc in each stitch around for a total of three rounds without increasing (18 stitches per round).
  • Round 8: Inc to 24 stitches by doing an inc and then two sc; repeat around.

Creating the Body:

  • For the next 4 rounds (Rounds 9-12), do 24 sc in each round.

  • Decrease for shaping the head - Row 11 starts with six decreases (preferably invisible decreases) followed by 12 sc, ending with 18 stitches.
  • Further decrements are done to gradually shape towards the body, decreasing to 12, then down to 10 stitches for the start of the body.

Lengthening the Snake:

  • For 67 rows, maintain 10 sc in each round, ensuring to stuff the head early on since it’ll become harder as the body elongates.

Tail:

  • After completing the body, decrease gradually for the tail. Start with 8 stitches (by doing a decrease, 3 sc, a decrease, and 3 sc).
  • Continue decreasing in subsequent rows to shape the tail to your liking, stuffing lightly as needed before closing.

Finishing Touches:


Final Row: Do a decrease, one sc, another decrease, and a final sc. Slip stitch to finish off. Weave in the ends.

Eyes: Place them 7-8 stitches apart around the sixth row from the head. Suggestion to sew the eyes for safety or use safety eyes placing between the 5th and 6th rows.

This pattern offers a simple yet adorable crocheted snake, great for beginners and those who appreciate detailed, hand-crafted toys or decorations. Remember to adjust hook size and yarn type according to your preference and the desired size of your snake. Happy crocheting!
