 Scrap Happy Snake Crochet Pattern 
By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

To be honest I am terrified of snakes! 

YIKES!

I have a bunch of bulky (5) weight yarn in lots

 of different colors. So, I thought making a fun and

  cute snake with it would be a good idea. 

I actually had a fun time making this snake and 

putting a cute face on it.  

This is one snake I am not afraid of.

And it can be used as a draft dodger, to block the

 air getting in under the door or window.

I used Safety eyes on the snake, but if this is for 

young kids to play with, I recommend using black

 yarn and friend knots. 

We want to keep those little kids safe.
