Amigurumi Crochet Baby Lion Free Pattern:
Tail:
Make a tassel from coffee-colored thread on yellow thread. With the yellow thread, make a chain of 6 ch, tie the tassel to the thread, knit a lifting loop, and knit 1 sc into each loop of the ch chain (6 sts).
Cut a small piece of yarn. Knit the tail piece at the beginning of Row 15 of the body, weaving the tail ends into the knitting.
Arm (2 pieces)
1 R – 2 ch, 6 sc = (6 sts). [Cast on 2 chain stitches, knit 6 sc into the second loop from the hook]
2 R – 6 ch = (12 sts). [Knit 6 increases in a row]
3-6 R – 12 sc = (12 sts)
7 R – (sc, dec) 4 times = (8 sts)
8-11 R – 8 sc = (8 sts)
12 R – fold the piece in half, knit, catching the loops 2 sc, dec, sp = (3 sts).
Cut the thread, leaving a short tail.
Legs-Torso-Head
We begin knitting by knitting 2 leg pieces from rows 1 to 7 inclusive. We knit the first leg and cut the thread, leaving a short end. After knitting the 7th row of the second leg, in the 8th row we connect the pieces into one body piece.
1 R – 2 VP, 7 SC = (7 P). [Cast on 2 chain stitches, knit 7 SC into the second loop from the hook]
2 R – 7 PR = (14 P). [Knit 6 increases in a row]
3-8 R – 14 SC = (14 P). [Work 6 rows in a circle without changes, 1 sc in each stitch of the previous row]
9 Row – 13 sc, 2 tr, 13 sc = (30 sts)
10 Row – 14 sc, 2 tr, 14 sc = (32 sts)
11 – 14 Row – 32 sc = (32 sts).
15 Row – knit tail into first stitch, 31 sc = (32 sts)
16 – 17 Row – 32 sc = (32 sts).
18 R – 13 sc, 4 dec (the place for this group of decreases is the belly of the toy), 11 sc = (28 P)
19 R – (2 sc, dec) 7 times = (21 P)
20 R – (dec, 5 sc) 3 times = (18 P)
21 R – 18 sc = (18 P)
22 R – 4 sc, knit the arm: attach the arm part to the body and knit 3 sc, simultaneously capturing the loops of the arm and body, 6 sc, knit the second arm similarly to the first: 3 sc, 2 sc = (18 P)
23 R – 18 sc = (18 P)
Stuff the body part with holofiber
Let’s start knitting the head :
24 R – (2 sc, pr) 6 times = (24 P)
25 R – (3 sc, pr) 6 times = (30 P)
26 R – (4 sc, pr) 6 times = (36 P)
27 R – (5 sc, pr) 6 times = (42 P)
28 R – (6 sc, pr) 6 times = (48 P)
Next, knit 7 rows without changes, 1 sc in each loop of the previous row.
29-35 Rows – 48 sc = (48 sts)
36 Rows – (6 sc, dec) 6 Rows = (42 sts)
37 Rows – (5 sc, dec) 6 Rows = (36 sts)
38 Rows – (4 sc, dec) 6 Rows = (30 sts)
39 Rows – (3 sc, dec) 6 Rows = (24 sts)
ATTENTION! If you have chosen eyes on a safety fastening, then before continuing knitting further, insert the eyes.
40 R – (2 SC, BD) 6 R = (18 P)
41 R – (SC, BD) 6 R = (12 P)
42 R – 6 BD, SP = (6 P)
Cut the thread longer, gather the remaining 6 loops on the end of the cut thread with a crochet hook and tighten the knitting, secure the thread with a knot and hide the end inside the toy with a crochet hook.
Muzzle
With white thread.
1 R – 6 SC = (6 P)
2 R – 6 CR = (12 P)
3 R – (1 SC, CR) 6 times = (18 P)
4 R – (2 SC, CR) 6 times = (24 P)
5-7 R – 24 SC = (24 P)
Sew the muzzle to the head.
Nose
With coffee-colored thread.
1 R – 6 sc = (6 sts)
2 R – 6 rl = (12 sts)
3 R – (1 sc, rl) 6 times = (18 sts)
4 R – (2 sc, rl) 6 times = (24 sts)
5 R – (3 sc, rl) 6 times = (30 sts)
Go to the yellow thread, fold the piece in half and in half again and along the edge of the piece with the yellow thread knit 15 sc, knit 3 rows of 15 sc in a circle, then knit 8 sc, simultaneously catching the loops of both sides of the piece.
Sew the nose to the muzzle. Sew on the beaded eyes and embroider the eyebrows with black thread.
Ears (2 pieces)
1 Row: 6 sc = (6 sts)
2 Row: 6 rl = (12 sts)
3 Row: (1 sc, rl) 6 times = (18 sts)
4 Row: (2 sc, rl) 6 times = (24 sts)
5 Row: Fold the piece in half, along the edge of the piece, piercing both sides of the piece, knit 12 sc = (12 sts)
Fold the piece in a semicircle, sew to the head between the 4th and 9th rows from the top of the toy.
Mane:
Attach coffee-colored yarn to row 27 and work 12 ch loops, attaching the loop to the head with a sl st, around the head circumference as follows: 1 loop per row. Work shorter loops around the ears: 8-9 loops.
If desired, you can knit the mane along the entire back of the toy.
