Lily Sugar ‘n Cream Solid in Hot Green (~120 yds)
Lily Sugar ‘n Cream Solid in Red (small amount)
Size US7 needles
2 black buttons
Tapestry needle
Needle and thread
Gauge
17 sts/32 rows = 4 inches in garter stitch
Pattern notes
Work the pattern with two colors at once, using each color to complete 2 rows before switching. The colors get carried up the side of the scarf and are hardly noticeable. (So, R1 and R2 worked in hot green, R3 and R4 worked in sage green, etc.)
Also, button eyes are probably not best for very small children. Embroidering on eyes with black yarn is probably a better choice if choking could be a concern.
Pattern
CO 2 sts
R1: K
R2-R20: k1fb, k to end
Work in garter stitch to 32 inches or desired length
Head Shaping:
R1-R8: k to end, CO 2
R8-R14: k all sts
R14: k to last 2 sts, k2tog
Repeat R14 until only 2 sts remain
BO 2 sts. Weave in ends.
Cut 6 lengths of red yarn ~15 inches long. Thread through a tapestry needle and though the bind of row. Pull yarn through until it is doubled. Holding two strands together, braid yarn for ~1.5 inches. Separate strands and make 2 braids ~2 inches long of 3 strands each to create the fork in the snake’s tongue. Knot and cut ends.
Attach button eyes.
