Amigurumi snake on an apple crochet

Free Snake on an Apple crochet tutorial by Natalia Kabachek @nat_ka_ami.

With this pattern, you can crochet a snake with an apple. For this amigurumi project, you can use any yarn you like: cotton, acrylic, cotton blend, etc. It is best to crochet both the snake and the fruit with the same yarn, or with different yarns that have similar yardage. A wire frame is placed inside the toy. You can tint the apple and the muzzle with pastels or eye shadow.

Finished snake length is about 45 cm.

This tutorial does not include basic crochet lessons; you should already have crochet and finishing skills.

Sculpt the apple so it is not just a plain sphere and has a more natural shape. Tint it lightly. You can crochet the stem as a chain, or wrap a piece of wire with yarn.
