Dear users, dear designers,
how about a few patterns for tigers, lions, and leopards? That’s sure to be fun. If that’s too dangerous for you, you’re also welcome to make a few little cats.
Tip: All animals on Crazypatterns are friendly, even when they look dangerous.

@Authors,
here in this thread, all designers can post thematically suitable ads.
2-3 patterns per designer are enough. Please link directly to the product.
The image should be of good quality. Info about the
material used, the technique, the difficulty level, and what makes the
pattern special should not be missing either.

Lennox the Lion Crochet Pattern
Click here to go directly to the crochet pattern

Hello everyone!! My name is Lennox, and I’m a small but proud little lion cub. I’ll be about 12 cm tall and am an absolutely reliable and loyal companion who will always make you smile! I’m house-trained and hardly cause any work around the house. Overall, I’m very independent and perfect for becoming your new cuddle buddy ;-)What You Should Know
  • How to crochet single crochet stitches in spiral rounds
  • How to make a magic ring
  • Slip stitches
  • Sewing the individual pieces together
  • General basic crochet knowledge

Contents: 25 pages of crochet pattern instructions with lots 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 have worked in spiral rounds 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 (Schoeller Stahl 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 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

Dangly Lion Lenny and Leana Crochet Pattern
Click here to go directly to the crochet pattern

Hello, everyone! Our names are Lenny and Leana, and we belong to the extremely rare breed of dangly lions. We are about 17 cm tall when sitting, and 30 cm tall at full length with legs. We are really very cuddly, house-trained, and tame :-). Our mom says we are easy to crochet and therefore suitable for beginners. You should be able to do the following: single crochet, increase and decrease single crochet stitches, sew on individual parts, slip stitches, and make a magic ring. What you need:
  • Approx. 60 g of yarn in yellow/beige or orange, depending on what color you want your lions to be. My boy is made with Schoeller Stahl Zimba Medium in color 0218. The girl is also made with Schoeller Stahl Zimba Medium in color 0022. This yarn recommends a 3.5 mm crochet hook, but I used a 3 mm hook.
  • Leftover white yarn for the cheeks and belly. This leftover yarn should also be suitable for a 3 mm hook
  • Approx. 20 g of yarn for the mane; I used “fringe yarn” from Schachenmayr “Brazilia,” color 1027, lot 2206.
  • Yarn for the nose and mouth, as well as a thin black thread for the eyebrows and the dots on the cheeks.
  • 3 mm crochet hook
  • Stuffing
  • Darning needle and scissors
  • 10 mm safety eyes
  • Pins to hold the limbs in place while sewing them on
  • Stitch marker
Length: 27 pages of detailed crochet instructions with many pictures showing everything step by step. I also won’t leave you in the lurch when sewing the individual parts together!
Difficulty level: Easy, suitable for beginners. However, you should already have worked in spiral rounds and have a basic knowledge of crochet.

The little lion is a finger puppet that you can quickly crochet from a few pieces of leftover yarn. I used Catania by Schachenmayr for the body and a fringed yarn (Brazilia, also by Schachenmayr) for the mane. The pattern also includes patterns for two more jungle animals: a hippopotamus and a little monkey.
Get all three right away!

Continue here:
It’s cuddly soft and just wants to be petted.
You can also crochet a cute little kitten like this using fluffy yarn. The richly illustrated pattern also gives you a few tips on how to work with this tricky yarn.  Otherwise, the cat is very easy to crochet because you only need single crochet stitches. And of course, you can use any other type of yarn—it’ll turn out just as cute. Take a look:

With his lioness, the wild lion becomes quite tame and snuggles up to her tenderly. The pair measure 7 cm tall (when seated) and can serve as keychains or good-luck charms for someone born under the sign of Leo. Or simply as two mini amigurumis to love and play with.
You’ll need just a little bit of golden-yellow cotton yarn, some fringe yarn (scraps), and a bit of craft batting.
The crochet pattern is available here!

Lennard is a pretty brave lion - but he still loves to cuddle more than anything ♥
He will be about 30 cm tall with the specified materials, and his dungarees can be put on and taken off.

The detailed and well-illustrated crochet pattern is also suitable for crochet beginners. Lots of detailed photos will help you!

The cute tomcat with his colorful rainbow overalls is not only adorable, but also easy to crochet ♥

With cotton yarn (Catania Denim and Catania Originals) and crochet hooks in sizes 2.5 and 2, he will be about 30 cm tall and just the right size for cuddling :-)

Crochet pattern "Lion & Mouse - Fabulous Friends" edge sitters



Do you know the fable of the lion and the mouse? It tells how the little mouse saves the big lion’s life after he spared hers and didn’t eat her. In my version of the story, the two became really close friends afterward, even though they look so different on the outside.


 

This crochet pattern explains over 11 pages, with lots of pictures and detailed descriptions, how you can crochet the two heavily weighted edge sitters yourself. Due to its scope, the pattern is more suitable for experienced crocheters. With cotton yarn and a size 2.5 crochet hook, the lion is approx. 19 cm tall and the mouse approx. 10 cm tall (each without legs).

Crochet Pattern "Eddy & Freddy the Cats" Bookends, Doorstops

 

May I introduce them? Eddy and Freddy, two cheeky little cats who aren’t just great as decorations: thanks to their size and the heavy stuffing in their bellies, they’re heavy enough to support a row of books or hold a door open.

 


The pattern explains step by step, with plenty of pictures, how you can make one of these cats yourself. It is therefore also suitable for ambitious beginners who already have basic crochet skills. Once finished, Eddy and Freddy are about 32 cm tall (Catania yarn, 2.5 mm hook)

Roaaaar! Here comes NELSON, the lion! He’s actually more of a cuddly type, but when monsters are lurking under the bed, he can let out a mighty roar to chase them away :-)
Nelson is almost 40 cm tall – that sounds big, but since he’s quite slim, he’s more of a medium-sized lion with the perfect stuffed-animal size. He is knitted from durable, high-quality merino wool, which makes him wonderfully soft – and even washable if he has gone on a romp through all the puddles with his little friends. (Not that he likes being washed – like all stuffed animals, he is extremely water-shy ;-))

Do you want to knit a Nelson too? Then click here: CLICK!

These two house cats will win the hearts of girls big and small! Coco, who always looks chic in her stylish cape, often has a hard time with her little brother, but that's how it is with siblings: one moment they’re bickering, and the next everything is fine again!
Coco and Jacques can be knitted entirely in rows – that will please all beginner knitters who are still at odds with the set of double-pointed needles. But there is also a pattern for the legs and arms worked in rounds. The head and body are worked using the intarsia technique. Never tried it before? Then it’s time to give it a go; it’s very easy and simple to master with my illustrated pattern.

Here are the cat siblings: CLICK!
