Flying Snake free knitting pattern

He slithers rather nicely, but he can also fly through the sky! Inspired by another favorite homemade outdoor toy, a sewn copy of a foxtail, this unstuffed snake has a beanbag head which pulls him to earth when he's up in the sky. His tail trails behind and makes for a great game of catch.

This quick-knit would make a great gift for any little boys in your life. It's a hit with my both my 9 and 4 year old.

How nifty, I am sure my nephew would love this!
That's totally cute! I might just have to make a few.
This is really tempting to make for a little boy I know.
That is so cute! Yay for knit boy toys! I'll be linking.
Thanks everyone! I am happy that you like the pattern. They are quick to knit, I think a scrappy striped one would be fun.
This is going to be the answer to my big dilemma of what to make Antonio for Christmas. Thank you so, so much! I may even make one for my son and grandson - even if my son is all grown up - he is still a boy at heart! Thank you for the pattern. And I love your scrapy idea - got lots of scrapy!
Pam, I am so glad you like the pattern! I hope they knit up well.
Help!!! I am at the point where you join the head to the body of the snake using the 3 needle method- but when I turn him, so the head is out, the stitches are in garter instead of stockinette-I don't understand.
Any help would be greatly appreciated- Thanks Christina
