Several months ago (actually, if I am honest, it must be at least a year ago) I found a pattern in a knitting store in St. Louis that I could not resist. It was so long ago that I am not even sure that the store is still there.
The pattern was for a knitted snake scarf. Incredibly cute, I thought, for my nephew J, who at the time must have been about five (now the truth comes out: that was THREE years ago; please don’t tell anyone).
Anyway, it has taken me until now to finish the thing. And it is cute.
At least I think it is.
The problem is that now my nephew is too old to be caught wearing a snake scarf,
and to be honest, he was a little skittish about it even at five.
So the question is: who gets the snake scarf?
Give me a good answer and it’s yours (or theirs).

OMG, Maddy would die for a snake scarf. She still wears the pink hat you sent us when she was born. Or I bet Aiden Beeler might like it! 🙂 I also think it is very very cute! I love your website – it is so great to see you doing so many cool things!
Me! Me! I get the snake scarf! Kidding, of course. However, I would very much like one in adult size, and perhaps in slightly different colors, although it does look good in mustard. Are you taking orders?
Sure! Any special colors? Stripes? Length?
(I would pay, of course. Or is that terribly crass? Do a trade? Except I have no skills that you don’t have, I think.)
We can work something out!
I don’t have a good enough answer, but it is too cute for the likes of Jacob these days! Pass it on.
I can pay J to wear it.. 🙂
Annabel, you are TOO funny!
Liza, I think you would look dashing in it! Ilisha
It is probably a little short for me. I’d need to make a longer one.
I’m liking the “possibly related post”: “Snakes aren’t pets, Jackwads!”. Well, this one is(!), though Joe says, “Socks aren’t pets either.”
I tried to turn those posts off once, but they seem to have come back…
1st of all, I want a pizza coupon. I deserve one because I can’t get these photos out of my yumagination. 2nd, I think the snake now deserves its place of respect and power on the top of a certain driver that I know. No, not the S driving back from Canby while you were knitting.
Your site is FUNTASTIC! A Definite change from the numericons?!

Looking for a pattern to make a snake scarf for my grandson, and this is one of the cutest i’ve seen. Could you tell me where you found the pattern? Thanks
I got it at a local yarn store — not even sure I can remember where now! Sorry!
