This pattern guides you through the process of knitting a delightful lion plush toy that is lovingly nestled within a beautiful lace blanket, making it an ideal gift for babies and toddlers.
**Knitting Technique:**
The toy is knitted in the round, ensuring a seamless finish and a soft, cuddly texture for little hands to hold. This technique is beginner-friendly but will challenge you just enough to enhance your knitting skills!
**Materials Needed:**
To successfully complete this adorable project, gather the following materials:
- **Double-Pointed Needles:** You will need 4 double-pointed needles in a size suitable for the yarn weight you are using. We recommend using needles that are a size or two smaller than the yarn recommends to produce a firm and sturdy fabric. For this blanket, I used size 5 (3.5mm) needles, while size 2.5 (3mm) was perfect for the lion.
- **Yarn for the Blanket:** Choose between Melange James C. Brett Baby Marble yarn DK Colour 760 (100% acrylic, 268 meters / 100 grams) or King Cole Baby Splash yarn DK Colour 21 (100% acrylic, 292 meters / 100 grams). Both options will give you a soft and comforting texture that is perfect for a baby’s blanket.
- **Yarn for the Lion:** You will also need white, pink, and yellow acrylic yarn in the Special Stylecraft range (100% acrylic, 304 meters / 100 grams) for creating the vibrant and cheerful lion.
- **Additional Tools:** Don’t forget your yarn needle for weaving in ends and a stitch holder for managing your stitches as needed.
