Create this coiled snake designed by Kimberly Chapman. This pattern creates a soft, coiling snake toy that naturally curls into spirals, perfect for draping or displaying. The body is knitted as a long tube that automatically coils as you work, without extra shaping.

After knitting the tube to the desired length, the head is shaped by widening the stitches, stuffing as you go, and gradually tapering to form the jaws. This gives the snake a distinct, flexible head and body.

Small details like a braided tongue and embroidered eyes add personality, and optional color stripes can be added along the body. The result is a playful, lifelike knitted snake that’s soft, flexible, and full of character.
