Strawberry Snake Crochet Mod
Here’s how to crochet a strawberry and leaf hat for the little snake!
This is a mod pattern that covers the strawberry details that go along with the snake.
Before following this mod, first follow the free snake pattern here.
I recommend changing the colors from the original pattern for more of a strawberry theme (ex. I used pink for the snake instead, but of course, you can always make your snake in any color you want).
You can also follow the beginner friendly tutorial below to make the snake or find the ad-free PDF versions of the snake pattern and strawberry snake mod on Patreon.
“Can I sell the plushies that I make with this pattern?”
Yes! Absolutely! What you do with the plushies you make is completely up to you! You may gift, donate, or sell any plushies that you make with any of my patterns. I would greatly appreciate if you could give "The Mary Jay" pattern credit and link back to this pattern when possible.
However, please do not sell, copy, or duplicate (to distribute) the crochet pattern itself in any form without permission.
