Lizards, not Lizard Ridge


A FO. This hat is giant, made for my 9 yo son who has a New Caledonian Crested Gecko. This chameleon chart came from the book Tap Dancing Lizards. I guess you would call it intarsia but let me tell you it's not elegant on the inside. I just cut the red at the end of each motif row and ended up weaving in a million ends - AFTER I showed it to DS to make sure he loved it enough for me to continue. It has a fair amount of ribbing, all folded inside in this photo. Think I may sew it in on the inside permanantly.
