Lebo And Loba The Lions
Introducing Lebo and Loba The Lions - a delightful pair of beautifully hand-knitted African lions that serve as perfect nursery decorations! These enchanting creations are not only ideal for brightening up any baby’s room, but they also make thoughtful gifts for anyone, from infants to adults who appreciate unique handmade items.
Lebo and Loba are crafted using the same charming pattern, with the standout feature being Lebo's lovely mane. This detail adds a touch of personality and makes each lion special in its own way. Whether displayed together or separately, they can add a warm and playful vibe to any space.
Don't forget to explore Lebo and Loba’s friends - Esie The Elephant and Jabu The Giraffe - available in my store. These adorable companions complement the lions beautifully and can create a whimsical safari-themed decor for your child's nursery.
Plus, here's exciting news for fellow crafters! You can sell your completed items but remember to credit Candice Le Grange as the designer. This opportunity allows you to share your handmade creations with the world while supporting fellow artisans!
To create your very own Lebo and Loba, gather the following materials: 3.25mm or 3 US or 10 UK knitting needles, along with 2 x 3.25mm or 3 US or 10 UK double-pointed knitting needles. You will need 70g or 2.47 oz of Sirdar Snuggly Crofter Baby Fair Isle Effect DK in shade 0193 (with just 35g or 1.24oz required for each lion) and an additional 10g or 0.35 oz of Sirdar Snuggly Double Knitting in shade 0303 for the tails and mane. Don’t forget stuffing to give them shape, 2 pairs of 8mm black safety eyes for that adorable gaze, and black embroidery thread for detailing—I used Crochet Thread No 5 for a polished finish.
Embrace your knitting skills and delight in creating these beautiful lions that are sure to bring joy to anyone who receives them. Start your crafting adventure today and let your creativity shine!
