Product Details
The leopard is fairly simple and gives a chance to practice duplicate stitch (or Swiss darning) to add the spots and facial features after the body, head, arms, and legs are sewn. While the pattern is the same for either the snow or African leopard (only the colors change), the attributes are different.
