Insert safety eyes in round 5 where hdcinc are. Insert eyes 14 mm at a distance of 6-7hdc, counting from the eye stem. The photo shows the points where we insert the eye stems.
Before securing the eyes with a plug, check if they are located evenly about the snout. Stuff the toy with fiberfill as you go. I stuffed the head quite tightly and stuffed the rest of the toy so that the snake’s body remained soft and elastic.

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 chl. Then follow my description.
