Based on the blue insularis pit viper. Didn’t have a good pair of brown buttons so I went with “gray” (pale blue)!

    Here’s a view from the top. Most of the body was just continuously crocheted curved (dec on one side, inc on the other), then I sewed it up a bit to hold the shape I wanted. It’s kind of short for a snake, since its length was mostly depended on the belly colour which was (at the start) 1 used, continuous ball and 2 balls of scraps, but I’m happy it got as far as it did anyway ;)

    That is one darn adorable snake! 😍 Did you do mosaic crochet (I think that is the correct term) to have the two colored sides in a continuous crochet project? Where you carried the other color and switched back and forth?

      Thank you!

      Looking at two articles I’m not sure it’d count as mosaic crochet since I only worked into the last round, never* the round before that. I think it’s just a colour change?

      Sometimes I carried the unused thread all the way, sometimes I crocheted it in for the first stitch or two of using a new colour and then left it to grab later (this makes it so there’s free thread going through the middle). This applies to the stripes on the tail, too - it’s just starting and ending the second colour in different places, no working into rows already worked into.

      /*aside from whatever that was once or twice when there was a big enough hole ;')

    I’m not used to amigurumi looking so fuzzy and without obvious stitching. (Neutral statement, not a negative judgment.) This looks cute, good job! I really think snakes could use more cute representations.

        You should have a button somewhere that should do it for you. It’d link to the same image and quote your original text. And Lemmy should be able to pick up that they belong together.
