US English pattern by Irene Strange. Includes step-by-step pictures.

Chameleons are so colorful and fun - now we can work one up in no time using a mixed color yarn or get extra detailed with a bit of crochet color work!

The Colour Pop Chameleon pattern includes two versions of the design, one made in a single multi-color yarn and one where two colors are mixed together to create the pattern along the back.

The instructions are in US crochet terms, with additional charts for the colorwork option, there is also a blank template for the main body if you want to design your own color pattern. There are step-by-step photos detailing how to make the pieces and sew together the toy.
