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.
