Looking for patterns
So I'm looking for a pattern for a gecko or a rhino. I can't afford to buy one, so I was wondering if anybody has one? I've looked online quite extensively and not found one I really like for free. (It's a gift for a friend of mine that really doesn't like the goofy anthropomorphized animals with clothes kind of thing, or really goofy anything, so that restricts my searches more than anything.) Also this would be the second thing I've ever done at all, and the first thing I've ever done without a more experience crocheter watching my every stitch. x.x; If I was more experienced I'd feel more comfortable just making it up as I went along, but I don't even yet have much confidence just in the doing stitches right. And my crochet goddess is in another state until January, so..
I really like the look of this gecko. I think he'd like it a lot. Also, there's the rhino that I think he'd think is adorable. Does anybody have any patterns, or know any websites that would have patterns, that look similar to either of these? Lizard/geckos and rhinos are his favorite animals, so I'm trying to find those. Help? j-j
