CROCHET PATTERN
Severus the Snake A little late for the 12 Days of Christmas he was planned for (12 Days of Christmas 2018), but Severus the Snake is still ready to slither his way into your heart for a little fun... Next up with have the House of Slytherin (my house) "Or perhaps in Slytherin, you'll make your real friends, Those cunning folk use any means, to achieve their ends." ~ the Sorting Hat While Severus may be just as clever and cunning as his namesake, Professor Severus Snape - this fiber guy's true loyalties and motivations are a joint venture with those who love him. And although he is extremely proud of his Slytherin Heritage & House, he is not a bad little guy - not at all. But always remember, a Slytherin's definition of success, is a future in which their goals and ambitions have been achieved ... so that means, Severus will want the same for you and may be a little 'Slytherin' about helping you achieve them! Side Note: For me, of the Hogwarts Faculty, it is really hard to pick a favorite... it's real close between Professor Snape & Professor McGonagall. I have always been drawn the 'antihero' in most stories.. I don't know why, so don't ask.. but Snape was just so complicated... so layered.. for me, it was hard not to just melt in his complexities... So of course for the "Slytherin" representation of this Hogwarts Edition of the 12 Days of Christmas - it had to be a snake (I made 3 : one a Handful, one was a Little Luvs and this simple ami - I've chosen to release this one to you!!) This pattern has been 'proofread' by a 3rd party, but NOT tested by any hands - so please let me know if you encounter any typos or errors within this pattern so that it may be corrected for others. | |
