LION

Note: The German version of this pattern is available through Etsy and DaWanda. :-)

✿ ✿ ✿
No sharp teeth or long claws in sight here. This Lion only wants one thing: to cuddle and snuggle.
He also promises to not hunt down other cuddly toys in his territory. :)

So, it’s pretty safe to crochet him. ;)

Edit: With my daughter’s permission I changed the Lion’s face a little bit and gave him a crocheted blue nose. :)

❤ info:
The figure is crocheted in continuous rounds/spirals;
rounds are not joined;
use a stitch-marker to mark the beginning of each round;

❤ techniques used in this pattern:

• magic ring (recommended)
• chain
• single crochet
• increase and (invisible) decrease
• slip stitch
• changing yarn-color (instructions included)
• surface crochet (for the optional hems and for the mane) (instructions included)
• crocheting in the round (rounds are not joined!)
• crocheting back and forth in rows
• some embroidery (for the face and button)
• some basic sewing (body-parts)

❤ materials used:

If you are making the figure for a child, washable yarn and stuffing is recommended.
