Crochet Pattern - Charlie the Lion

Welcome to Woodbury Crochet!

Meet Charlie, a loungey little lion!
One look at his mighty manes will tell you he isn’t the easiest fellow to crochet. But you can do it, if you try!

This crochet pattern is written in English, using standard American crochet language. With this downloadable pattern, you can make this little lion with a giant mane. It does NOT give you the finished product.

The pattern has been designed by me and no artificial intelligence has been used in any step of the creation. The pattern has also been tested by other crochet-lovers and provides you with detailed instructions with lots of pictures, illustrations and recommendations. All the required information needed to complete this toy is listed in the written pattern. The lion is worked in spirals, and you can use any wool and hook size you wish.

If you still need help or encounter any errors or inconsistencies, do not hesitate to contact me by email.

The pattern is suited for intermediate crocheters or very confident beginners.
