Make your own Mini Kerry the Chameleon with this fun crochet kit from best-selling author and designer Kerry Lord. Mini Kerry is a wonderfully quick project for any one wanting a step up from complete beginner. Using soft DK yarn, it can be completed in a short period of time with only a little know-how.

Mini Kerry the Chameleon first made an appearance in the mini menagerie in 2017, and has been a favourite miniature version of Kerry Lord’s namesake animal ever since. Known for being able to change the colour of their skin to blend in with habitats, chameleons can mostly be found in the rainforests and deserts of Africa. Did you know that they also change colour to warm up or cool down?

This kit includes:

• Super soft pure wool in DK, spun in the UK
• A soft grip 3mm TOFT crochet hook
• Recycled toy stuffing
• Wool needle for sewing up at the end
• A length of black thread for the eyes
• Postcard pattern with instructions for making your animal
• Getting started crochet advice and links to Toft’s ‘how to’ YouTube videos

Level two kit: This kit is suitable for enthusiastic beginners or those who have crocheted before.

Finished size: When finished your Mini Chameleon will be approximately 15cm long.
