Free Pattern- Snake Scarf

I made a snake scarf for the Little Man for Christmas. the size is not set in stone, so use what ever size needles you like. I used size 8 and worsted green Encore, a small amount of black for eyes and tongue and a crocket hook to help make the tassel tongue. It is worked from the tail upwards.

Bind off

Embroider on black eyes, take 3 pieces of red yarn double the length that you want the tongue to be. Fold in half, using crochet hook pull red yarn through at middle of snout, then pull ends through, making tassel of 6 strings. Braid strands evenly, two pieces to a section. Tie in knot at end and snip to make even. Ssssssss...

There were errors in the orginal pattern, but I believe they are now fixed.

Thanks! Moe
