Shamanic Snake Pattern
This was my very first live streamed project on Twitch! Every Sunday we have Cozy Crochet Chats at 7pm PST. Come hang out and crochet along with me HERE
Many of my designs done live will be free here on my blog. I enjoy the interactions and maybe you can help me with my next design!
This is a biggie, it measures about 5 ft tall. The Shamanic Snake was named after one of my followers and good friend. I hope you enjoy this pattern as much as I did! If you want more Patterns you can check out my shops here:
