Looking for an adorable and unique crochet project? The Danger Noodle snake pattern is the perfect blend of whimsy and skill-building fun. This charming “nope rope” makes a fantastic gift or addition to your amigurumi collection, and with this step-by-step guide, you’ll create your own slithering friend in no time.
What You’ll Need
Before diving into this pattern, you’ll need to complete the Thor baby dragon pattern up to Round 15, as this snake uses that pattern as its foundation. Use the same eye size suggestions and materials listed in the Thor pattern.
As you work through the pattern, remember to stop every 5 rounds or so to lightly stuff your danger noodle. This ensures your snake maintains its shape and stays properly stuffed as it grows longer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, you need to complete the Thor baby dragon pattern up to Round 15 before starting the Danger Noodle snake pattern. The snake uses the dragon head as its foundation, giving it a charming facial structure.
The finished snake is quite long due to the gradual tapering design. With 30 rounds at full width plus the decreasing tail sections, expect a snake that’s several feet in length, depending on your yarn weight and hook size.
Stop every 5 rounds or so to lightly stuff the body. This prevents having to force stuffing through a long narrow tube later and ensures even, consistent filling throughout the snake’s length.
Absolutely! You can adjust the length by adding or subtracting rounds in any of the sections marked “for a total of X rounds.” Just maintain the decrease rounds as written to keep the proper tapering shape.
