Crochet Snake Techniques

To crochet a snake, you'll need a few key techniques to bring your creation to life:

1. Working in Continuous Rounds: Most snakes are crocheted in continuous rounds to create a smooth, seamless body.
2. Shaping with Increases/Decreases: Use increases and decreases to shape the snake’s body and define its head, tail, and curves.
3. Textured Stitches: For a more realistic effect, add texture with techniques like front or back post stitches to mimic scales.
4. Crochet Snake Tongue: A forked tongue adds authenticity—often created with a simple chain or small piece of thread.
