The special way of attachment of the eyes described in the pattern allows you to move them with your hands and face them different directions, like real chameleons do.

The pattern requires advanced crocheting and medium sewing skills. It includes helpful photos and illustrations all the way through.

This pattern needs testing. If you would like to test the pattern, send me a message.
