Have you tried amigurumi crochet and want to improve your skills? Are you interested in trying a more intricate pattern? In this three week class, Julie will help you crochet an Amigurumi Chameleon by local St. Louis designer Jennifer Starbird! This life-sized chameleon is about 14 inches long and 5 inches tall and uses intermediate shaping techniques and wired limbs for a very impressive result. The pattern (included in class price) is long and detailed with many helpful progress photos.

A text-only version will be printed for you to follow along with, and the full pattern with photos will be displayed on the shop TV. If desired, you can bring your own tablet or other device to view the pattern photos. Safety eyes, polyfil stuffing, and floral wire will be provided for you.
