so the CAL starts right away 🙂
this is what you will receive with the first part of the pattern:
the lions head and body and, of course with a behind (which is facing us in this picture) ^__^
you can download the pattern here:
or you can go to ravelry and start the pattern, you will get the new pattern automatically there when I update it 🙂 also you can add comments/questions/pictures at my rav group, I will interact there and answer every question that might occur 🙂
of course you can also share your comments here as well ^__^
now get your hook ready and choose a color for your lion because I can’t wait to meet your lion kings 🙂
oh, before I forget to mention, next part of the pattern will follow on sunday

I’m curious how the work looks finished.

Hi!
I have a doubt about this lovely pattern. In Row 35, there may be a little tiny typo? I end Row 34 with 32 stitches, but when crocheting Row 35, if I follow the pattern, the number of stitches doesn’t match. I can’t find my mistake, so I thought it was better to ask you instead of “uncrochet” the whole lion and start again.
I’m using my favorite orage yarn, and the lion will be the present for a little kid I love very much :o)
I’m so happy with this project!
Cheers,
Sonia

Hi! I just wanted to say that I’m in! Currently I’m working on the first piece and I must say that it’s a bit larger than I’d expected, so it’s good that I chose a big ball of yarn and a smaller sized needle.
I’m very curious about how the finished lion will look like. Thank you for this fun CAL! 🙂

Hi Sonja,
there is a typo – oops
row 35: start with sc9 instead of sc5

Hi Plutt,
when you finish the body you will see nearly the complete size, I plan to go for smaller arms/legs, since I want the head to be the striking element 🙂

Thanks! Lion for the win! (I’m not sure if that expression fits here, but I like it)

sounds good to me 🙂

Hi.
I’m working with the arms and in the round 6 you write B4 stitch. It doesn’t appear in “abbreviations”.
What is this exactly?
(I love YourGurumis 🙂

Hi Yolanda,
it’s a bobble, it’s explained at the top of page 5 (right before the arms start)
best,
Diana

Sorry! I’ve seen the B4 sticht
