Leonard the Lion

$ 6.65

US English pattern by Smiley Crochet Things. Includes step-by-step pictures.

Say hello to Leonard the Lion. He is rather proud of his mane and loves to swish it around as much as possible. He does get cold in the winter and so loves to wrap up warm in his scarf and gloves. His accessories are removable, so he is great for playing dress up. Included in the pattern is a photo tutorial for the loop stitch to make his amazing loopy mane.

This pattern is written with US crochet notation and is an intermediate level pattern, some crochet knowledge of basic stitches is required.
