Abbreviations
SC- single crochet
SC INC- single crochet increase (2 SC in each stitch)
INV DEC- Invisible decrease (put hook through the FRONT LOOP ONLY of two consecutive stitches [two loops on hook] Yarn over pull through both loops. [two loops on hook] Yarn over pull through two loops)
Magic Circle- Make a loop, leaving a long tail to work with. Insert hook in center of loop, yarn over and draw up a loop. Yarn over, pull through to make the first chain (this does not count as a stitch!). Continue to crochet over the loop and tail with the number of stitches called for. (If you need 6 SC, then crochet 6 SC inside the ring.) Pull the tail to close the circle.

Please take a minute and read through the whole pattern before you begin, especially about the mane and ears. I provide a lot of tips and tricks that will be helpful to know, and make it easier on you as you begin!

Fasten off and leave a long tail to sew the arm onto the body. Attach between rows 22 and 23.

The Mane and Ears
I begin by making a “hair hat.” This is what you will attach the individual pieces of yarn hair to. It also helps to cover up the color of the head so you don’t have to attach quite so much hair. I used a worsted weight (I Love this Yarn from Hobby Lobby in Brown) and a size 6 bulky yarn. I used a brown Lion Brand Hometown USA but a similar bulky yarn, such as Bernat Chunky could also work. It is best if you use one that has multiple strands. I pulled these apart to make that curly, wavy look. You definitely can use worsted weight if you would like. But I would double up the strands as you attach them.

Hair Hat
Using worsted weight yarn and a size 4 hook.
You will connect each round with a slip stitch and chain 2, except for the last round.
Round 1: DC 10 in a magic circle.
Round 2: DC INC in each around.
Round 3: DC in the first, DC INC in the next. Repeat around.
Round 4: DC in the first two, DC INC in the next. Repeat around.
Rounds 5-8: DC in each around.
Fasten off a leave a long tail. You will use this to attach to the head.

Ears (make 2)
Round 1: 6 SC in a magic ring
Round 2: SC INC in each around. (12)
Round 3: SC in first, SC INC in next. Repeat around. (18)
Rounds 4-6: SC in each around. (18)
Fasten off and leave a long tail. Sew onto the hair hat, about two rows back and 6 stitches apart. Place them on with pins to make sure they are where you like them. Attach the ears before the hair!

Attaching the Hair
I begin by cutting yarn about 5 inches long. It was about perfect to wrap the yarn repeatedly around my hand and cut it at one end. Put your hook under one of the double crochets. Put the ends together so that it is halved, and put the end loop on the hook. Pull it through. Go through the loop and pull the ends back though and tighten it.

I attached one in every stitch around the front of the hat. Then every other stitch in the row behind. Then every two stitches. You won’t need as much as you think, although I do tend to go back and fill in where I would like it. Like I said before, I separated the strands. Then go through a trim it down. The front pieces are about 2 inches long, and the rest are about 3 or 4 inches long. Be sure not to begin too short! You can cut more, but not add more!

Tail
Round 1:In a magic ring SC 8.
Rounds 2-20: SC in each around.
Leave a long tail to attach to the body. I attached it centered in the back around row 7.
Attach worsted weight yarn similar to how you attached the mane for the tuft of tail. About 7 pieces.

I. Preparatory work.

For work, we need:

1. Skills for crocheting basic elements;

2.Plush yarn in two colors. I have GalaMix (analogue

YarnArt Dolce) white and yellow. White

you will need about 5 grams, yellow – 50 grams. But I

I recommend to take a full skein of yellow yarn so that

for sure;

3.Orange Alize Softy 30 grams for mane;

4. Yellow Alize Softy 30 centimeters for the face;

5. Brown or black cotton yarn for knitting

nose and embroidery muzzle, paws and navel. I have –

Narcissus PNK them. S.M. Kirov;

6. 4-5mm hook for plush yarn. Navigate

at its knitting density. Need to pick

a hook in which there will be no holes in the canvas. For

I use a 4mm hook for this yarn, for YarnArt Dolce

– 5 mm;

7.Sintepuh or other filler;

8. Eyes on a secure mount 10-12mm. I will

use black eyes 10mm. Usually used

what is at hand. Next up is improvisation.

9. White felt for the eyes.

10. Spout on a secure mount if embroidered

“no forces”;

11. 4 buttons for button fastening paws. I

I use coconut buttons with a diameter of 7-10 mm .;

12. Thin fishing line and durable cotton thread for

button fastening;

13. A needle with a thick eye for sewing on parts.

Using these materials, the growth of a lion

is about 20 cm.

Important notice! The yarn consumption indicated in paragraph 1 of the section

I, is very subjective and depends on the density of knitting,

which is individual for everyone.

Cooking eyes

1. Take the felt and puck from the eye. As a rule, the puck is a little

more eyes.

2. We circle the washer on felt along the contour (I circled

penny coin. It turned out to be too big, so

cut on the washer), cut a hole with an offset from

center like

shown on

the picture

3. Insert

eyes in felt.

4. We cut

excess felt with

one side

eyes.

IMPORTANT! All

pen marks

pencil and other things should be hidden inside out.

Oops! Picture from

another MK but

the meaning is the same

Handles, they are front paws (2 parts)

3-4 row (2 rows): 9 sc (9);

5 row: 3 Dec, 3 sc (6);

6-8 row (3 rows): 6 sc (6);

Paws do not fill, fold in half and connect 3

We tighten the ring. We fix the thread and hide the tip

inside the bloopers.

We embroider fingers with brown yarn.

The body and head are knitted in one piece

1 row: 6sc into magic ring (6);

2 row: İnc x 6 times (12);

3 row: (Sc, inc) x 6 times (18);

We do not break the thread, we begin to knit the head:

16 row: for the front half-loop (Sc, inc) x 6 times (18);

17 row: (2 sc, inc) x 6 times (24);

We stuff the body.

18 row: (3 sc, inc) x 6 times (30);

19 row: (4 sc, inc) x 6 times (36);

20-24 rows (5 rows): 36sc (36);

25 row: (4 sc, dec) x 6 times (30);

Insert the eyes between the 22nd and 23rd row (6th and 7th row of the head)

so that between them becomes a distance of 2 sc (in the photo everything

well marked).

26 row: (3 sc, dec) x 6 times (24);

27 row: (2 sc, dec) x 6 times (18);

28 row: (sc, dec) x 6 times (12);

We stuff our head.

29 row: dec x 6 times (6).

We tighten the ring, hide the thread.

Ears (2 parts)

1 row: 6sc into magic ring (6);

2 row: İnc x 5 times, 2 connecting posts (12);

We fix the thread, leave the end with a length of 20 centimeters

for sewing ears.

Sew the ears to the head between 3 and 4 rows, if

count the rows from above.

Muzzle (1 piece)

White yarn.

1 row: 6sc into magic ring (6);

2 row: (İnc of HDC x 2 times, inc) x 2 times (12);

3 row: 12 sc (12).

If desired, you can knit 4 row of 12 sc.

Fill the muzzle and sew as close to

eyes.

If you use a ready-made nose, then you need to put it

in the muzzle before you fill it and sew it to your head.

From above yellow Alize Softy we embroider a nose bridge

We embroider the eyebrows with brown yarn.

Tail (1 piece).

With yellow yarn we dial 8 VP, we return along chain 7

sc.

Body assembly.

The paws are fastened with buttons. T.N. “Button

fastening “. When doing this kind of mount

I recommend using a thin fishing line along with the thread.

The axis for mounting the “legs” runs between 6 and 7 rows on

distance of 14 sc. To mark those places

where the needle will go, I recommend using

knitting needle.

The axis for mounting the “hands” runs between 13 and 14 rows

at a distance of 8 sc.

Sew the tail to the body between 5 and 6 next.

Mane.

Mane is the final and perhaps the most time-consuming

process.

For mane you need to cut Alize Softy yarn

orange in segments of 8-9 cm and folding the segments

in half, fasten them to each head loop, bypassing

muzzle area. And do not forget to make a brush on the tip

tail

After you collect all the mane, the beast can be a little

cut.
