Lizard
The lizard is made with the three bight, four lead turks head knot.
Next you twist both strings together till just past his hind legs,
twist one string for its tail.
Twist both strings together for one leg and splice back into a braid,
Bring both strings through the twist and repeat for the other leg.
When finished with this leg bring one string into the twist for the body,
The other string goes through the other leg and then into the twist for the body.
Splice back till where you want the front legs.
If your strings are of equal length make one leg with each,
if they differ much, use one for both legs.
I just twisted the string for the front legs.
Splice on till the string disappears into the head.
Bring the leftover string through the head, pull and hold,
cut and melt together, or sew and cut.
