Skill Level: Beginners. This crochet snake project is worked as a single piece all using basic crochet stitches, colour changes and increase and decrease. Beginners can easily crochet it. To get a professional finish make sure to maintain the consistent tension, especially for the head. It can be tricky to work with velvet yarn, so I would recommend having some experience in crocheting.
Guide Span: 23 Minutes Only
Personalization Tips: If you find difficulty with colour changes and working with two yarns at once, use just a single strand of the yarn colour. Tutor uses Slytherin- colours but you can crochet it in green and grey or green and red or any colour else instead. To adjust the length, adjust the number of rows in a repetitive pattern of the snake amigurumi's tail.
