Alan the Lion Amigurumi Pattern

Alan the lion is a gentle amigurumi lion about 30 cm tall, with a soft, shaggy yarn mane and a turquoise T-shirt. His snout, head, arms, legs and tail are worked separately and sewn together, and the mane is made by knotting short pieces of yarn, so every Alan looks a little different.

Who this pattern is for

This pattern is for intermediate crocheters who are comfortable with crocheting in the round, color changes and sewing parts together.

Tips for making it

• Crochet in spiral rounds and always use a stitch marker.
• Crochet tightly and use a hook one or two sizes smaller than the yarn label suggests, so the stuffing does not show.
• Place the mane yarn in lines around the face, then trim it to shape.

Why you'll love this pattern

The yarn mane gives Alan a special charm, and the photos make the assembly simple. You can change the colors of the lion and the shirt as you like.
