I’m back with another snake amigurumi pattern—this time with a simpler and cuter design! While the previous snake I shared had a royal touch with a crown, this one is more playful and perfect for kids. Its long body might seem challenging at first, but the crochet technique is consistent throughout, making it easy to create despite the larger size.
Plush Crochet Snake Amigurumi Pattern
This adorable snake features impressive eyes and a bright red tongue. The forked tongue design is detailed in the pattern, making it an engaging project. The thin tail and large head mirror the shape of a real snake, but with a charming, friendly twist.
Key Features:
- Simple and cute design ideal for beginners
- Detailed forked tongue design
- Large head and thin tail for realistic proportions
- Perfect as a girl’s toy or playful decor
The plush snake is fun to make and a great project to add to your amigurumi collection. Whether you’re making it for Halloween or just for fun, this pattern will help you create a delightful and huggable snake!

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.
Your snake is ready!
