My beaded fidget snake pattern is available now for a small price! Check out its page on my Ravelry store to get a hold of it and have fun making your own colourful knobbly snake friend while supporting me in the process!

If you do make a snake with this pattern and post it on tumblr, by all means tag me, I would love to see the snakes people make!

this is probably my favorite crochet pattern i have ever used 🥹🥹🥹 LOOK AT HOW TINY AND CUTE THIS PIE IS!!!!!

i made this little guy following CauliCrochet's pattern (available on their youtube channel in both written pattern and demonstrated video!)

materials used:

aunt lydia's crochet thread size 10 in red and silver and cream

size 8/0 czech seed beads in red

1.5mm micro/steel crochet hook (i like the addi swings for their massive handles because it helps counterbalance when i'm working with tiny thread)

generic stuffing

a paper tag glued inside the pie tin (i won't do this again, it made it too stiff)

and little tapestry needles for sewing it all together!

i ended up working this whole piece in the round without joining rows to see how i liked it, but it came out a little wonky so next time i think i'll follow the pattern instructions to "invisible join and chain 1" at the end of each row :)

Just realised I never shared this here!

I made this crochet bead snake from a pattern using the book in pic 4. It comes from an extant example from circa 1918. These necklaces were made by World War 1 prisoners of war and became popular in the 19teens and 1920s.

It's made up of around 3000 glass beads that had to be strung onto the crochet thread in the correct order!
