Description
🦘 Aussie Door Snakes Vol 3 — 12 original crochet patterns (PDF, 40 pages).
Twelve Australian sea and shore creatures, stretched out long and put to work: each one is a crocheted door snake draft stopper about 90 cm long, with a padded animal head at one end and a sealed weight pouch along its base so it hugs the floor and stays exactly where you put it. From a gentle dugong and a smiling dolphin to a cheerful grey nurse shark (all grin, no menace), a friendly saltwater crocodile and a brilliant red crab, this Aussie seaside collection brings the reef, the beach and the riverbank to your doorway, from our Aussie family shop. Every design is an original Aussie door snake worked in worsted/aran yarn with a 4.0 mm hook.
This collection includes 12 original patterns: Dugong, Green Sea Turtle, Little Penguin, Fur Seal, Octopus, Saltwater Crocodile, Grey Nurse Shark, Red Crab, Silver Gull, Pelican, Dolphin and Goanna.
Each of the 12 patterns includes:
• Its own dedicated solo photo page — every pattern photographed individually
• Pattern-at-a-glance box (type, finished size, pieces, yarn, level)
• Full round-by-round instructions in US crochet terms, with the stitch count stated at the end of every round and row
• The pack's shared construction: a long body tube worked in rounds, a head built from an asserted increase/decrease ladder, and the animal's own ears, muzzle, beak, crest, fins or flippers
• Step-by-step assembly, including the sealed fabric weight pouch (poly pellets or rice, fully sealed inside fabric — never loose in the crochet), stuffing and finishing, plus a maker's tip for every design
Park a penguin along the nursery door, let a pelican guard the back door, or make the whole shoreline as gifts for Aussie beach lovers — a door snake is the rare handmade present that is cute, useful and finished in a weekend or two of happy crocheting. Australia gave the world the dugong's grazing meadows, the little penguin parade and the red crab march; this Aussie collection lays all twelve along your door. Aussie makers will spot a goanna's speckles at twenty paces; everyone else just gets a warmer room.
Skill level: Confident beginner. Worsted/aran-weight yarn, 4.0 mm (US G-6) hook. Each door snake about 89-96 cm (35-38 in) long including head, fins and tail; body about 7 cm (2.75 in) across when stuffed (slimmer lizard and crocodile bodies about 5.5 cm).
