This pattern is so cool - I only started learning how to crochet about a month ago and now that i've got a bit more skill, I'm finding amigurumi and animal patterns like this super realistic gecko highly addictive! I wanted a break from making 'cute and cuddly' patterns and I think lizards are fascinating so I gave June's gecko a go and everyone I've shown him to is super impressed. The shape of the head, neck and body are just like a real lizard! Adding the wires or pipe cleaners to the legs adds to the realism too. Overall, for such a simple to follow pattern with no colour changes, this gecko is very impressive.
