A cheerful little green snake with big googly eyes, a pink forked tongue and a bendy wire body that coils around anything: use it as a cable tie, a napkin ring, a plant decoration, a lucky charm or a Christmas tree ornament. The pattern includes six hats to dress it up – a Christmas tree, a bauble, Santa, a snowman, a snowgirl and a snowflake – perfect for the Year of the Snake.
