After reworking the pattern, I finally finished the first of the door excluders for our foyer. This pattern is using size 4 DPNs (double-pointed needles), and remnant yarn for most of the project. The snake head is crafted in Red Heart “Frosty Green” color – all other colors are random, to keep the pattern unique per project.
Girlnovember’s El Senor Snarky Door Snake
The snake contains about 25 pounds of tiny river rocks, which were used at one point as part of our wedding reception centerpieces. We’ve had bags of these tiny stones for years, so I’m glad I finally came up with a use for them! I used an old, clean pair of pantyhose to hold the stones, tying off the “panty” end keep the stones in place. The tail end of the door snake has a draw string closure, so I can remove the stones if I want to wash the outer knitted piece. As you can imagine, he’s quite heavy, but he stays in place and fits snugly against the door.
