Sneaky Snake Scarf Pattern

My Sneaky Snake Scarf Pattern is now live on Ravelry!  It came out way cuter than I expected, and is really quite easy to make. And I also found that it doubles as a toy for my little one, who recently learned how to make the sound a snake makes.



 The pattern takes advantage of the natural roll of stockinette fabric, giving the snake a rather realistic, sneaky look (and feel!). Patterned after the docile ribbon snake, its vertical stripes are an easy introduction to colorwork and don’t leave you with lots of ends to weave in, the way horizontal stripes do. Read more about how I designed him here.



Since my Camilla mitten giveaway never really panned out, I’ll make the Sneaky Snake Scarf Pattern my giveaway. Leave a comment to enter the giveaway, and I’ll use a random number generator to select the winner. Entries close at noon on Wednesday, February 16.



I'd like to thank my model, his handler and the warm weather and sunshine for their cooeration in today's photo session.

    Thanks, everyone, for your feedback on the snake! I hope if anyone knits him you'll share photos of your finished objects -- I'd love to feature them on my blog!

    Hi
    I am knitting the snake in rainbow colours to make a rainbow serpent (Australian native mythological creature) and I wondered how long you did yours before doing the head? Also, when knitting the head it says row 1 you have 24 sts, then row 2 you cast off 6 sts and end up with 22 sts - that doesn't seem to be right. Could you please email me at alexandraedwardes@hotmail.com with a correction? thanks so much
