Description
🦘 Aussie Door Snakes Vol 1 — 12 original crochet patterns (PDF, 40 pages).
Twelve beloved Australian animals, 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 sturdy wombat and a big-eared koala to a spiky echidna, a smiling quokka and Australia's tiny dragon, the frill-neck lizard, this is Aussie wildlife doing honest work against the draft, 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: Wombat, Koala, Echidna, Platypus, Kookaburra, Red-Bellied Black Snake, Kangaroo, Dingo, Tasmanian Devil, Quokka, Bilby and Frill-Neck Lizard.
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, bill, beak, spikes or frill
• 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 platypus along the nursery door, let a dingo guard the back door, or make the whole menagerie as gifts for Aussie animal 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 wombat, the koala and the quokka's smile; this Aussie collection lays all twelve along your door. Aussie makers will spot a bilby 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 88-95 cm (34.5-37.5 in) long including head and tail; body about 7 cm (2.75 in) across when stuffed.
