Super Sweater Snake!

Step 2 Lay out the snake.

At this point, you'll want to cut off the arms of your sweaters. cut off the cuffs, and cut straight across from the shoulders to make a rectangular tube. Embellishment on the sleeve can either be removed or used in your design. In this case, I only wanted the orange stripe from one of the sweaters, so I removed the rest of the sleeve. But I kept the designs on the sleeves of the green sweater since they coordinated well.

Next, lay out the snake. Play around with it to get to look you want. Cut the sleeves in half to make 2 segments if that works for you (I did here with the piece that became the head and middle green segment).

The purple sweater's sleeves were wider, but since i'll be skinny-ing up the last section of the tail anyway, i didn't worry about that. And I put the other sleeve in the middle where the snake would be the fattest. (If you have a large disparity, you can always turn wrong side out and stitch up to the diameter you want, then trim the excess.)

For the head, center the sweater seam on the bottom, then, round out the head by cutting off two triangles.
