Leon the Sleepy Lion by Yarnwawa

Leon the sleepy lion is an energetic boy. He is full of energy every day. But getting enough sleep is the most important thing for him. He likes helping people sleep well. So take him home and sleep with him! I will tell you a secret, when Leon sleeps, he often talks in his sleep.
This pattern is designed in a chubby style. Every part of the body is round, even the hair is full of round bobble stitches. The clothes on body are striped pajamas. This pattern will also need sewing and embroidery.
