HISSY THE SNAKE
Round 1: Begin with a Mgc Rng, 6 SC into ring, pull yarn tail to close (6 SC) Round 2: \*2 SC into next St, Repeat around (12 SC) Rounds 3 - 5: 1 SC into each St around (12 SC) Round 6: \*2 SC into next St, Repeat around (24 SC) Rounds 7 - 9: 1 SC into each St around (24 SC) Round 10: \*1 SC into next 2 Sts, SC2Tog into next St, Repeat around (18 SC) Round 11: 1 SC into each St around (18 SC) Insert Safety Eyes at Round 9, set them 6 Sts apart from each other.

I used about a cotton ball's size amount of stuffing for each time I stuffed the length of the body. Remember not to over stuff the piece as you want it to still remain flexible & move like a Snake would.
