This kid’s crochet Snake seat cushion will be a beautiful accent to any kid’s room, also it will make a wonderful gift. I made this crochet cushion in rainbow colors, but you can use any color combinations you’d like.

The idea of this Snake seat cushion was brought to me by a friend. Some time ago she showed me her old knitted seat pad that her grandma made for her when she was a small child. Here is the photo of her seat pad:
My friend asked me if I could make something similar. Her old cushion reminded me of a snake curled in a circle and this gave me an idea to design the rainbow Snake seat cushion!
For this Snake kid’s seat cushion, I slightly modified the pattern for my crochet Snake toy that was published earlier.
For the Snake cushion, I recommend using a smaller hook size than for the Snake toy so the stuffing wouldn’t be visible through stitches when you shape your Snake into the circle. Accordingly, I added 2 more stitches for the rounds. You will need to make a long Snake and then sew it into the cushion.

Notes
- Ch 1 in the beginning of every Rnd DOESN’T count as a Stitch.
- Join every Rnd in top of first SC.
- How to change color: make last SC in the round, draw new color through first St of the Rnd and through the loop on the hook.
- First, I changed color after Rnd 8, then I was changing color every 10 Rnds. You can change colors in your own way, or, you can make your Snake just in one color.
- Don’t forget to stuff the Snake as you go!
