I found this lion fun to design and to make. The mane is rooted in which will take time to do (2-3 hours depending on individual experience with rooting).

This is not a pattern for those who do not want to spend the extra time rooting. There’s other lion patterns out there that will take less time.. just do a google search or search right here on Ravelry for lions and look for one that will be to your liking.

With that said, this is a free pattern with a video tutorial right here to help with sewing and rooting. I hope you enjoy!
