Today, the new daily crochet pattern Amigurumi Lion Crochet Pattern, I want to give you some information about this pattern;
YOU WILL NEED
- Yarn of your choice in colors: mustard yellow, terracotta red and beige for crocheting and sewing pieces together;
- Embroidery thread in egg yolk color for making ears, stitching fingers and decorating the mane;
- Embroidery floss and/or scraps of yarn in black, lingonberry, honey and caramel colors for decorating the face; Crochet hook suitable for the yarn of your choice;
- Toy stuffing;
- Embroidery and tapestry needles, pins, stitch marker.
- It’s quite traditional to leave a long yarn tail for sewing at the end of making every part of the toy. But yours truly is not good at sewing at all, and therefore prefers to divide the yarn into strands and use them along with a thin sewing needle, so the stitches look more neat. Please do what’s more comfortable for you. All the pieces are mainly worked in a spiral
