Thank you so much for choosing to make my lion pet! Everyone wants a cute little pet to wear on their arms, right?! This wearable plushie is completely no sew other than the face embroidery, and you can choose to make the long leg ties or incorporate hair elastics for the arm bands. Like my other pet patterns this is quick to work up and perfect for markets!

Don’t be scared by the mane! I have a YouTube tutorial to help and several of my testers attempted the stitch for the first time making this pattern and had no problems. :)

This pattern is written in US terms, and is designed for use with Premier Parfait Chunky or a similar weight yarn, and a 5 mm hook. It works with all yarn weights though. Your lion’s finished size depends on the yarn, hook, and tension of your stitches. Mine end up being around 4 (worsted weight acrylic, 4 mm), 6 (premier parfait, 5 mm), and 8 (Bernat Blanket, 8 mm) inches long.

I hope you enjoy making your lion pet so much that you end up making an army of them! :)
