4 1. Here you can see how I use yarn left from beginning to mark rows. 2. If you use safety eyes, place them between the 12 th and 13 th rows, do this once you have completed the 16 th row. I would advise you to make pre- holes with the end of your crochet hook for easier insertion.

5 3. Here You see safety eye without the washer. 4. For easier placement I push the washer with two fingers at the same time. Before attaching the washer be sure the eyes are in the right place because you can't make changes once the washer is on.

6 5. Here You ll see the safety eye after attachment. 6. Now You can stuff, You can use the other side of the crochet hook. Stuff the head really tightly.

7 7. 1/3 of the work is done. Stuff gradually. 8. I also use another yarn as a row marker, because the yarn of the beginning is now too short.

8 9. Finishing the snake: it s a bit hard to crochet and even harder to stuff. Again I use the other end of the hook. I use wool for stuffing. 10. At the end, I cut the yarn and start to make neat finish. For that I pick up all the sc left, one or two at the time and

9 11. I pull them together, this creates a neat finish. 12. Then I start to hide the yarn.

10 13. Then You ll have a neat finish. 14. Properly hiding the yarn gives toys a better finish.

11 15. You can embroider your snake as You wish. 16. Even simple stripe is nice. Well done, Your snake is ready!
