This is a downloadable PDF knitting pattern
Sage was inspired by Kaa, the giant snake in The Jungle Book stories written by Rudyard Kipling. Sage has a long tail leading up to the main head which is knitted in stocking stitch and decreases to shape the crown. The features are knitted separately, sewn together then attached to the head. His bulbous eyes are made by knitting a dome first which creates his fantastic 3d features especially when accompanied by his sticking out tongue. Sage's inner lining is in a contrasting colour to give the effect of the underside of a snake.
