DESCRIPTION:
🐍 Let's bring our cobra to life with expressive, realistic eyes! In Part 6, you'll learn how to crochet the basic eye shape and then use embroidery techniques to add depth and detail with a vibrant iris, a sharp vertical pupil, and subtle light-reflecting highlights.
📚 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.
