Known affectionately as a horny toad, the Texas horned lizard was once a common site on playgrounds and in parks in the southwestern United States. They are scarce now, but you can crochet your own Texas Horny Toad pillow using jumbo (7) weight yarn. This pattern could also be used to make a dinosaur using green or camouflage yarn. Use the same pattern with worsted weight yarn to make a horny toad plush toy measuring approximately 15" long. Material list for both weights of yarn are included in pattern.
