MANE
Attach the dark brown yarn on the surface of the face, behind the ears, one stitch distance from the ear, and start crocheting slip stitch in the surface of the Lion’s face.
Make a circle around the face, passing one stitch distance behind the ears, going down on the side of the face until two rounds above the neck, going up again, and meeting the starting position.
Once you arrived behind the ear where you start, chain 2 and start working in hyperbolic form.
Make 2 double crochet inside each surface slip stitch. When you meet the starting position, join with a slip stitch, chain 2, and make 2 double crochet inside each stitch again.
Join with a slip stitch. Cut the yarn, and fasten it off.
Wood cover
With blue color yarn chain 21, skip the first chain and start
1 to 6 row 20sc, chain one and turn.
• Cut the yarn, fasten it off, and leave a tail for sewing.
NOTE: if the wooden ring you are working on is bigger in length, add more chains into the detail. If the wooden ring is thicker, add more rows!
• Sew it around the wooden ring, 20 stitches from one side, with 20 stitches from the other side.
ASSEMBLY (cont.)
- With dark brown, embroider a triangle on the snout. Once you are done, finish with a little line in the center of the triangle.
- With black thread, embroider the eyes in round 10 of the face (or one round above the snout) and leave 6 stitches between them.
- With the same thread, embroider the eyebrow one round above the eye, with the length of two stitches.
- OPTIONAL: With white thread, make two lines on the side of the eyes. With pink thread, embroider one line on each cheek, three stitches distance from the snout.
