Product Details
I created this design in honor of the
Chinese Year of the Snake (although it would also be suitable for a little member of Slytherin!. The Chinese
zodiac is a 12 year cycle, with a different
animal for each year; in addition,
each year is also associated with one of
five elements (wood, fire, earth, metal
or water). 2013 is the year of the Water
Snake; water snakes belong to the genus
Nerodia.

Difficulty is Intermediate: Skills include cable knitting,
reading charts, picking up stitches,
and working in the round.
Snake band is worked sideways; body
stitches are then picked up from long
side of band. Sleeves are worked in the
round to the underarms, then joined to
body; the yoke is worked flat. Instructions
for the snake band are given in
chart form. Cardigan closes with snaps
sewn to front bands; buttons are sewn
over snaps. Beaded snake eyes and
embroidered snake tongues add a bit
