This document provides instructions for crocheting a no-sew lizard toy in 34 rounds. Materials needed include yarn, a crochet hook, safety eyes, and stuffing. The lizard is worked in continuous rounds from the magic ring up. Key steps include increasing stitches in early rounds to shape the head, adding safety eyes between rounds 6 and 7, decreasing stitches from round 21 on to shape the tail, and alternating left and right leg stitches in rounds 11 and 19. The finished lizard measures approximately 7 inches long.
