One night I had a dream, I was a main character in the movie Raiders of the lost Ark and I was in the snake pit trying to get out. A new idea for a blanket was born. 
I am fascinated by snakes, and in some cultures they are the symbol for being reborn. To make the pattern complete, I added a skull and now it symbolises the circle of life (death and birth).
I realise this design is not everybody's cup of tea, but I had to make it.
 
The pattern comes in two techniques: Overlay mosaic crochet and Interlocking filet crochet. Both techniques have a written pattern and charts. The mosaic pattern has extra large printable X charts and small charts to work on a tablet.
