Scrappy Lion Stuffed Toy Crochet Pattern

by Joy Prescott

Overview

Crochet this floppy little stuffed lion with band-aids on his leg and chest to comfort a sick child and it will quickly become her favorite toy. The head and body are made from separate circles, then crocheted together and the head is sewn to the body. The limbs are worked in the round and then sewn onto the body. The band-aids, nose, eyes, and ears are crocheted separately and then sewn on. The mane is made from scraps of yarn attached like a fringe around the head.
