Amigurumi crochet pattern

This Adorable lion is my own design, when finished he measure’s approx 18” tall ( when using D.K yarn and 3.5mm hook)

The pattern is quite straight forward I recommend it as an intermediate/advanced beginner pattern. The instructions are very detailed and easy to follow if you know the basic stitches and techniques used to make amigurumi . The PDF file includes over 50 pictures to help you along. Written using U.S crochet terms.

The pattern is a PDF and you will need Adobe Reader to open it, This is free to download. I will be happy to help you along if you have any questions when making it.

You will need
Approx. 100g of D.K yarn, a small amount of yarn for the mane, and a very small amount for the hands and feet
A pair of 10mm safety eyes (or you could embroider them)
Stuffing
3.5mm hook and 4.5 hook
Tapestry needle
Stitch marker (scrap of yarn)
Embroidery thread for the nose
