FINISHING
Bring the long sides together, matching C and B areas. Pin if needed. Starting at the
beginning of the red (C) color nearest the tail of the snake, thread the large-eyed blunt
needle with the long tail of the red (C) yarn and sew the two sides together. Tie off yarn,
leaving ends on the inside of the snake. Repeat for each red segment.
Rows 193-200 are the head of the snake. The end is the mouth.
Thread the large-eyed blunt needle with B (the black yarn) and, with the exception of the
tail end beyond the portion already sewed together and the mouth, sew the rest of the back
together. Tie off the ends of the yarn, leaving them inside the snake.
With C, embroider eyes on the head of the snake. For the tongue, cut an 8 inch piece of C
and, on the inside of the snake, secure it in the middle of the mouth so that two ends come
out the mouth.. Fold the mouth flat with the tongue in the middle and, with , stitch shut.
Cut one of the legs off the panty hose. Using a piece of paper rolled into a cone as a
funnel, fill with kitty litter. so that the leg is filled to a point where it is about 2
inches wide for most of its length. Tie off end. Take it outside and shake well to get any
dust out.
Turn the snake partially inside out. Place the knotted end of the stocking into the head
end of the snake and put your hand into the snake (while it is inside out) and hold onto the
end of the stocking inside the snake's head and then turn the snake right side out over the
stocking, shaking the snake as needed to get the filled stocking inside. Once it is inside,
position the stocking and the kitty litter so it is distributed as you'd like it.
Working from the outside, sew the tail of the snake shut. Shake so the filling is
distributed as you wish and shape into position. Add a bow if you like!
