Calling all crochet lovers — today’s pattern is extra adorable…
Designed by the talented Katyusha Chirkova, this Amigurumi Plush Snake Free Crochet Pattern is a fun and cozy project for amigurumi lovers of all levels. Made with soft Himalaya Dolphin Baby chenille yarn, the snake turns out irresistibly plush, making it perfect as a cuddly toy or a decorative piece. The finished length of the designer’s snake is about 100 cm, but you can easily customize it to any size you like. With its friendly face, playful tongue, and adorable design, this crochet snake will quickly become a favorite in your handmade collection.
To create this charming plush snake, you’ll need simple materials such as super bulky chenille yarn, a bit of YarnArt Jeans for the details, safety eyes, and some fiberfill for stuffing. A 3.5 mm crochet hook for the snake’s body and a 2 mm hook for the tongue make the process smooth and enjoyable. Whether you’re looking for a unique gift or a fun addition to your amigurumi projects, this pattern is a great choice. Huge thanks to Katyusha Chirkova for sharing this beautiful design, and don’t miss the inspiring Amigurumi Snake ideas featured at the end of the tutorial!

Before securing the eyes with a plug, check if they are located evenly in relation to the snout.
Stuff the toy with fiberfill as you go. I stuffed the head quite tightly, and stuffed the rest of the toy so that the snake’s body remained soft and elastic.

Decoration
Take black yarn YarnArt Jeans and a suitable needle. Embroider the upper eyelids, nostrils and mouth. I embroidered the eyebrows with chenille yarn above the eyes, 4-5 stitches will be enough.
Tongue
Hook size 2 mm and red yarn YarnArt Jeans. The tongue is crocheted as a separate piece and then attached to the mouth using the ends of the red thread. You can also crochet the tongue on the toy. Insert the hook in the middle of the mouth, grab the red yarn, draw the loop and make ch1. Then follow my description.
Ch12, from the second chain on the hook: 3 sl st.
Ch4, from the second chain on the hook: 3 sl st.
Work 8 sl st on the main chain.
Cut the yarn, leaving the end for sewing pieces.
Attach the tongue to the mouth.
