Abstract: We generalize the Wriggle polynomial, first introduced by L. Folwaczny and L. Kauffman, to the case of virtual tangles. This generalization naturally arises when considering the self-crossings of the tangle. We prove that the generalization (and, by corollary, the original polynomial) are Vassiliev invariants of order one for virtual knots, and study some simple properties related to the connected sum of tangles.
