DIY Knit Snake Scarf Free Pattern

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.

Thanks for the shout out Jen on EPBOT! I’m making these scarves and the Cockatoo scarves (see such a good Good Omen’s meme with cockatoos at EPBOT’s post) for Holiday presents. See EPBOT’s post here: epbot.com/2019/08/jens-gems-romanov-costume-ball-snake.html

One of the great things about fibercrafts like crochet and knitting is that you can work numerology and shape magic into it as you go. Threes resonate with you? Throw a series of three double crochet bobbles in it. Like fives? Put a 5 stitch border on the edge of your scarf. Hexagons your jam? Granny square blankets may be your thing. There’s so much versatility, so much room to hide your craft in it. And if you’re not great with numbers, or if you have no desire to make your own pattern, you still have room to play with the patterns of others. You can chose fibers that resonate with the elements you desire, colors that evoke the power you want, patterns with the right number of points to please.

Look at what I found on Pinterest! It’s a random stripe generator! You pick the colors you want, the stripe thicknesses that can be used, and how many rows you want in total and it creates a nice, random stripe pattern for you! Random is hard to pull off, at least for me, and I’m sure I’m not the only one.

There’s even a weighted stripe generator if you only have a little bit of a particular color!

I have needed this exact thing for my scarf I just can’t even yes.

The folklore among knitters is that everything handmade should have at least one mistake so an evil sprit will not become trapped in the maze of perfect stitches. A missed increase or decrease, a crooked seam, a place where the tension is uneven - the mistake is a crack left open to let in the light. The evil sprit I want to usher out of my knitting and my life is at once a spirit of laziness and of over-achieving. It’s that little voice in my head that says, I won’t even try this because it doesn’t come naturally to me and I won’t be very good at it.

Kyoko Mori, ‘Yarn’

That last phrase especially - “I won’t even try this because it doesn’t come naturally to me and I won’t be very good at it.” It really is like some kind of all-encompassing evil sprit sometimes.
