A mighty mini lion! Finished project measures 4 inches long and 2-1/2 inches tall. The pattern is designed for a beginner who has learned the basic stitches of crochet.

This is a “no-sew” crochet pattern, which means that the ears and legs are made as part of the rounds. The entire body is made from one continuous piece of yarn, and the mane is crocheted on the body. The only sewing is a few stitches for facial details.
