DESCRIPTION:
🐍 Let's give our cobra its iconic, royal look! In this crucial Part 4, we will crochet the magnificent hood. The process involves creating two separate pieces—a multi-colored inner part and a solid-colored outer part—using back-and-forth rows and strategic shaping.

📚 About This Toy & Series
This series guides you through creating "Pelageya," a stunning, poseable cobra with a wire frame. It's a perfect project for a unique handmade gift or a piece of interior decor. This tutorial is detailed enough for confident beginners. ❗️Important: This series uses both knitting and crochet. If you prefer to use only a crochet hook, you can crochet the body part (shown in Part 2) instead of knitting it.
