Designed by Soboleva Toys, this delightful “Little Snake” captures a cute and expressive look with detailed shaping and soft color contrast.

This project follows an intermediate amigurumi structure with more detailed shaping and facial embroidery. Difficulty Level: Intermediate. It uses YarnArt Jeans yarn in green tones for the body, contrasting stripes, and expressive facial details. If you enjoy forest-themed designs, you may also like our beaver amigurumi pattern.

For a crisp finish, the design features embroidered eyes, stripes, and a small red tongue, all created with semi-cotton yarn and a 2 mm crochet hook. You will also need fiberfill, a tapestry needle, and basic tools to complete it. For another woodland favorite, explore our Casia turtle amigurumi pattern.

Sculpting (Eye Shaping)

Sculpting is made in R25.

First sculpting:
The thread runs horizontally under the eyes.
Insert the needle at the center point 1 sc below the eyes, bring it out under the inner lower edge of the eye, go up near the upper inner edge, and return to the starting point.
Repeat the same steps for the second eye.
Gently tighten to form slight cheek indentations.

Second sculpting:
The thread now runs diagonally (about 60°).
Repeat the same sequence of entry and exit points to shape the cheeks and define the eye contour.
Tighten carefully and secure the yarn.

Note: The starting point for sculpting is 1 sc below the midpoint between the eyes. This is also the placement point for the tongue.

Tongue

Leave long yarn tails on both sides.
Ch 8.
Starting from the second ch from hook: 2 sc, ch 2, starting from the second ch work 1 sl st.
Continue along the chain with 5 sc.
Sew the tongue at the sculpting center point (1 sc below the eyes).

Finishing

Embroider the eye whites with white yarn.
Embroider eyebrows, nose, and eyelids with black yarn.
Add an eyelid line with body color yarn.
Embroider yellow stripes on the belly.
Add cheeks.
Tie the snake into a knot if desired.

Your snake is ready.
