DIY Knit Snake Scarf Free Pattern
Author’s Statement:
“This is my attempt at a realistic Pseudonaja affinis, an elapid snake common in Western Australia. This was a requested design by a herpetologist studying these snakes for her PhD. The color Sequoia looks the most realistic for this snake which is sometimes called a Spotted Brown Snake
The 12 inch tail is knit like cord starting with very small needles. Most of the snake is stockinette worked back and forth. The head is knit in the round and requires a little hand sewing with a scrap of some non-fraying fabric similar in color to your yarn. You need some polyfill and eyes. I also added a patch of leather inside the head for shaping.”
Knit this Snake Scarf by Barbara Tomlinson from Beachton.com. Find the PDF pattern on her website here, or on Ravelry here.

Nikol Lohr wrote a post about “The Prim Reaper’s Corset” on her blog The Thrifty Knitter here. The book, “ Vampire Knits: Projects to Keep You Knitting from Twilight to Dawn”, is listed at around $12, but you can get it from your library, used on Amazon for as little as $2.15 plus shipping, or on half.ebay.com for a few dollars.
You can also check out comments about the project on Ravelry if you signup for free here. The knit corset is described as:
The corset is knit side-to-side of two strands of Louet MerLin Sport, a linen/merino blend that produces a strong fabric with a soft hand and fluid drape. It is knit at a tight tension for a fairly firm fabric, and then further enforced with twill-covered boning sewn inside for support. ... Wear it on its own as an undergarment, or over a filmy cotton camisole or silky satin slip dress or tailored skirt and blouse as outerwear.
I posted about the Vampire Knits’ book when it came out and wrote, “ 28 Projects and don’t let the Twilight reference keep you from looking at these projects!”
