I love this little pattern because it works up quickly, and is crocheted all in one piece besides the two ears (so no sewing together body parts at the end, my least favourite part!). Cute and tiny, this lion is perfect to whip up in an afternoon for a last minute present.

Finished size: 7cm long when using suggested yarn and hook size.
