Say hello to Leonard the Lion. He is rather proud of his mane and loves to swish it around as much as possible. He does get cold in the winter and so loves to wrap up warm in his scarf and gloves. His accessories are removable, so he is great for playing dress up. Included in the pattern is a photo tutorial for the loop stitch to make his amazing loopy mane.

This is an intermediate level pattern, some crochet knowledge is required. Not recommended for complete beginners, but the pattern does include detailed step by step instructions and pictures to help you.

Using the materials suggested this lion measures 28cm. Any yarn can be used with this pattern with an appropriate sized crochet hook to create a tight tension, although other yarns may affect the size of the finished lion. Suggested materials: DK (8ply) 60% cotton, 40% Acrylic yarn, 3mm crochet hook, toy stuffing and 9mm safety eyes.

Please always check materials and current safety standards before giving to a small child.
