Liam Lion
Introducing this majestic yet cuddly lion knitting pattern, the perfect gift for both small and big kids alike! This charming project is not only quick to complete but also provides an enjoyable crafting experience for knitters of all skill levels. The lion is knitted in the round, with legs, ears, and tail crafted separately and attached later. However, if you prefer a seamless finish, feel free to pick up the stitches from the body and join them as you knit!
Knitting Techniques You'll Master:
- Knit in rounds and flat
- Simple increases and decreases
- Kitchener stitch / grafting for a polished final touch
Materials You'll Need:
- Approximately 20 grams of cotton or other DK weight yarn, such as Cascade Ultimo Pima (200m/100g), in vibrant lion yellow and brown, or your favorite color combinations.
- Leftover yarn in black for adding detailed eyes and facial features.
- A set of double-pointed needles or a cable needle, one size smaller than the yarn weight—note that I used 2.5mm needles.
- One stitch marker to clearly indicate the beginning of the round.
- Optional: Extra yarn scraps for delightful embroidery on the lion, or adding a small scarf or charming top hat!
- A tapestry needle to weave in the ends for a tidy finish.
- Fiberfill to give your lion its cuddly shape.
This adorable lion pattern not only provides a fun and fulfilling knitting project but also encourages creativity and personalization. And best of all, 100% of the revenue from the sale of this pattern goes directly to the WWF (World Wildlife Fund), allowing you to support wildlife conservation as you enjoy your crafting journey!
