Hello everyone, for the plush amigurumi lovers, I shared the crochet lion toy pattern today. The amigurumi crochet lion pattern with the cutest colors is easy to crochet step by step. Since plush yarn is used, you can complete it immediately. We will crochet all the parts separately. You can learn how to make the parts in the description section.

You can design the lion free amigurumi patterns as a gift for children. Do not forget to decorate your toy using different accessories. Thank you to the creator of the lion amigurumi pattern.

Mane

I made the mane by crocheting slst all around the head leaving a loop every time I made a stitch (Use additional color)
You may crochet the main using loop stitches. Just crochet a detail from additional color a little bigger than the head using loop stitches (start from 6sc into a MR and make 6 inc every new round till required size).
After the mane is ready sew it to the head.

Assembly

Sew the pads to the feet. Sew the arms and legs to the body. Sew the ears to the head.
Sculpt the muzzle to make it look better. Attach the eyes and sew them to the head. Embroider brows and a line deviding the muzzle.
Weave in all the yarn tails.

Congratulations, you have completed the amigurumi pattern.
