	I found an old little tablecloth of my Grandmother's and I thought it should be possible to make one in Tunisian crochet ...... I was not able.... it became a bookworm!

	Make a BR with 5 cn. Go on working with TSS. When you want your worm/snake to turn to right: 1st row: work 2 TSS, go back 2nd row: work all 4 TSS, go back Repeat - two or three times (depends on how much you want to turn the worm!)
	Then go straight on as long as you want till you turn to the left: take up alla the loops, work back 3 loops, then take up these 3 stitches and work the whole row back. Repeat - two or three times.
Nose: skip the first strand, take up a loop in the next (middle) strand, skip the next but last stitch and tak up a loop in the last stitch. YO, pull through loop, YO and pull through all loops. Cut yarn. For the first photo my bookworm had "real" snake-eyes	But unfortunately the eyes hadn't holes or a hook so I had to replace with two small pearls.

	And this is a pc-worm! Just make the worm without turning, add buttons as eyes and sew a zigzag on the back!
Have fun!
