Simon The Snake

Simon The Snake amigurumi pattern is the perfect crochet pattern for reptile lovers.

Skill Level: Beginner

The pattern is written in U.S. crochet terms, complete with clear instructions and pictures to help you along the way. Simon The Snake is crocheted in continuous spirals without joining the rounds. I suggest using a stitch marker or different color yarn to keep track of each round. Simon The Snake is crocheted in worsted weight yarn and approximately 19 inches long. Be aware that size may vary depending on the yarn and hook size used. Gauge is not particularly important, just be consistent with the tension you are using. And most importantly, have fun!

Simon The Snake Pattern Example

6 sc into a Magic Circle {6 sts}

R1 starts with 6 single crochet in a magic circle
Alternate way to begin: chain 2, sc 6 times in 2nd chain from hook

(inc) 6 times {12 sts}

(2 single crochets in each stitch) – repeat the sequence a total of 6 times for a total of 12 sts

(inc, sc in next st) 6 times {18 sts}

(2 single crochets in one stitch, then single crochet in the next stitch) – repeat that sequence a total of 6 times for a total of 18 sts

(dec, sc in next 2 sts) 6 times {18 sts}

(join 2 single crochets into 1, and then single crochet in next 2 stitches) – repeat that sequence a total of 6 times for a total of 18 sts

If a line is written with a single “inc”, “dec” or “sc” with nothing after it – make one increase, decrease, or single crochet into one stitch only.
