This Cuddle Me Lion awakens baby’s energy and strengthens child’s self-confidence. The amiable crochet lion is just 16 cm tall. His cute mane locks and fuzzy tail are perfect for developing baby’s motor skills.
Use our Cuddle Me Lion Amigurumi Pattern to create a best friend for a small or big child! 🙂
Supplies:
- Semi-cotton yarn Yarnart Jeans (55% cotton, 45% acrylic; 160 m / 50 g) in three colors
- 2.0 mm crochet hook
- Fiberfill
- 6 mm safety eyes
- Scissors and sewing needle
If you use the specified yarn and hook, your Cuddle Me Lion amigurumi will be about 16 cm (6.3″) tall. Pay attention that your lion can be larger in case you use thicker yarn and bigger hook.
Note: If you’re going to make a toy for a small baby, it’s better to embroider eyes instead of using small plastic eyes to avoid the risk of choking hazard. Better safe than sorry!

thank you very much. it is so cute. I will made it certainly
Hello,
There is no e-mail address to contact you then I make it by this comment.
I bought 2 PDF of your free patterns and it is not possible to print them.
I ask for size(format) portrait and the impression(printing) is necessarily made in size(format) landscape and I miss pieces
And it as well for the monkey as for the lion
What is that there is a manipulation for your PDF?
I still have no screen to read the explanations when I crochet and I need to print these documents
Thank you in advance for your help(assistant) or to send back(to dismiss) to me in a size(format) which is OK
Best looks Léva

Estou frustada…. não consigo de forma alguma fazer a juba do leão não compreendo do round 11 em diante
Can you say the colour numbers please
what colors did you use?
I have some trouble with round 11, from the manes. I’m dutch so I’m not familiar with these terms. I use a translation table but it seems that you use both American and English abbreviations. Can you clear this for me?
(I’m talking about this: sc in next 3 st, (sc in next st, dc in next st, (tr,dtr,tr) all three in next st, dc in next st, sc in next st, sc in next st, sl st in next st) repeat 5 times, sc in next 6 st.)
