Ryan the Lion is an easy to follow crochet pattern that can be used to create both a female and a male lion. The pattern includes over 50 detailed colour photos with step-by-step instructions as well as a tips and tricks section that clearly explains any tricky parts. The pattern is suitable for any type of yarn that you prefer to work with. The thicker the yarn, the larger your lion will be. The thinner the yarn, the smaller your lion will be.

The eyes can be done with needle felting or you can make use of safety eyes depending on your preference. The mane is done with eyelash yarn using a very easy surface crochet technique that is explained in detail in the pattern. If you can make a slip stitch, you will be able to make the mane. It just takes a bit of patience.
