Hello, everyone!! My name is Lennox, and I’m a small but proud little lion cub. I’m about 12 cm tall and an absolutely reliable and loyal companion who’ll always make you smile! I’m house-trained and hardly give you any work around the house. In general, I’m very independent and perfect for becoming your new cuddle buddy ;-) What you should know

• Crocheting single crochet stitches in spiral rounds
• How to make a magic ring
• Slip stitches
• Sewing the individual pieces together
• General basic crochet knowledge

A 25-page crochet pattern with plenty of pictures for each step. I won’t leave you in the lurch when it comes to sewing the individual pieces together either.
Difficulty level: Easy, though you should already have worked in spiral rounds once before. What you’ll need:

• Approx. 20g of yarn (Schoeller Stahl Zimba medium in color 0218) in the color you want your lion to be. The yarn should be suitable for a 3mm crochet hook (the Schoeller Stahl yarn recommends a 3.5mm hook, but it works great with a 3mm hook)
• Approx. 20g of yarn for the lion’s mane (I used eyelash yarn, but it also works great with normal leftover yarn).
• White leftover yarn suitable for a 2mm crochet hook
• Brown yarn for the nose
• Safety eyes (8 mm)
• Stuffing
• Scissors, darning needle
• Stitch marker
• Pins to secure the individual limbs before sewing them together
