Long-legged Lion- Free pattern

Patterns are for personal use only. Not for commercial or retail purposes


Stitches:

Single crochets

Half double crochet

2in1: Make one increase (two single crochets in one stitch from last round)

2-1: Make one decrease (crochet two stitches together)

Loop stitches: watch video on youtube

Yarn:

Use whatever yarn you want. I use 100% Egyptian cotton which gives a beautiful shiny result.
Hook:

Use 1- 2 hook sizes smaller than the gauge given on your yarn for å firm amigurumi. It is important to make tight stitches.

Stuffing:

Stuff firmly! It leads to a well shaped amigurumi, and a amigurumi that hold their shape nicely.



HEAD for Lion:

Stuff as you crochet.

Make a double adjustable ring with yellow yarn.
