FAQs

Is this a finished toy?

No. This is a digital crochet pattern (PDF) that you download and use to make your own amigurumi lion.

Is this pattern suitable for beginners?

Yes. This pattern is beginner-friendly and includes clear instructions and photos. You should be comfortable with:

• Magic circle
• Single crochet
• Simple increases and decreases

What type of yarn should I use?

The pattern is written for DK (light worsted) yarn. I used 100% cotton yarn, but acrylic or blended yarns also work well for amigurumi.

If you use a thicker yarn, your finished lion will be larger.
