My daughter’s most recent request was for me to make a snake scarf for her to wear. I let her pick out the colors for her snake. She said it needed to be pink and white because those are two of her favorite colors.
This is a fairly simple pattern. It can easily be made longer by adding in more pink and white stripe sections in the middle.

My daughter was very happy with how this scarf turned out. She said that her friends loved it, even though a few of the girls told her it was scary and looked like she had a real snake on her neck.
