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

Blue crocheted snake with a pale underside and brownish tail. Curled up. Pale blue button eyes.

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 ;')

    Not at all! What does crossposting mean on the threadiverse? Is it just reposting or posting a link?

    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.
