**Knitting Pattern: LionToy Baby Blanket and Toy**
Looking for a delightful and cozy addition to your baby's nursery? Create the adorable LionToy Baby Blanket and matching plush toy with this comprehensive knitting pattern! The blanket, measuring 31.5” x 23.65” (80 cm x 60 cm), will keep your little one warm and snug, while the charming lion toy adds a playful touch to their space.
**Materials Needed:**
To get started on your LionToy Baby Blanket, gather the following materials:
- **Knitting Needles**: A pair of US 10 (6mm) needles are recommended for the blanket, ensuring a comfortable knitting experience.
- **Double-Pointed Needles**: For crafting the toy, use 4 double-pointed needles in a size that complements your chosen yarn. For best results, opt for needles that are one or two sizes smaller than what the yarn recommendation suggests to achieve a firm and durable fabric; I personally used US 6 (4 mm) needles.
- **Yarn**: You will need 500 grams of olive-colored yarn for the blanket, and I suggest using Nako Sport Wool (25% Wool, 75% Acrylic; 100g = 120m) for an ideal balance of softness and warmth. For the lion toy, gather 100 grams each of mustard, orange, red, brown, and cream-colored yarn, also from Nako Sport Wool.
- **Toy Stuffing**: Make sure to have some toy stuffing on hand to give your lion toy a plush and cuddly feel.
- **Yarn Needle**: A yarn needle will be essential for weaving in ends and finishing your project neatly.
- **Stitch Holder**: A stitch holder is handy for keeping your stitches secure while you work on various parts of the blanket and toy.
