Product Details
The lion is one of the easier animals to knit. There are no color changes in the body and legs. The mane and tail use the fringe stitch, which isn’t hard, but depending on how thick you like the mane, can be quite time-consuming. I love the mane and tail done in fringe stitch, but they’re also cute with crochet chain loops.
