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)

Paws do not fill, fold in half and connect 3

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);

13 row: (5 sc, dec) x 3 times (18);

14 row: (4 sc, dec) x 3 times (15);

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.
