Snake on My Head!

Feeling like your brain’s being squeezed? Thinking poisonous thoughts? Blame the SNAKE ON YOUR HEAD! This delightful snake hat pattern is perfect for knitters of all skill levels looking to add a whimsical touch to their winter wardrobe or give a playful gift. Constructed using bulky yarns held double, this hat knits up quickly in just one evening, making it ideal for last-minute gift giving or cozy accessorizing.

The pattern utilizes the ingeniously simple helical knitting technique, which allows you to create beautiful spiral stripes without any annoying jogs. This adds an exquisite flair to your project that will surely impress! To complete the charming snake look, embellish the hat with a couple of small buttons and a felt tongue; feel free to add beads to the tail of yours for a fun rattler effect!

This versatile hat fits a variety of head sizes, from my five-year-old son to my husband, and even accommodates my giant 24” melon! It's a great project for the entire family, making it an exciting way to bring everyone together during the colder months.

While I absolutely adore the yarns I've used in this design, they can be a bit on the pricier side. For budget-conscious knitters, here are some fantastic alternatives that come in both solid and multi-colored options:

• [Malabrigo Chunky][1]
• [Knit Picks' Wool of the Andes Bulky][2] / [Bulky Hand Dyes][3]

Additional Materials Needed:

• Two 3/8” buttons
• A small piece of red felt
• Green thread or embroidery floss (for attaching the eyes and tongue)
• One sharp-tipped needle (essential for sewing on eyes and tongue)
• 1 ball of bulky yarn

Get ready to embrace your inner knitter and make your very own Snake on Your Head hat! This project not only offers a fun and creative outlet but also results in a unique accessory that’s sure to turn heads. Happy knitting!
