A​​Lionet​​Amigurumi​​Pattern

It was the first amigurumi crochet pattern

I created. This pattern is so easy, that it
can​​be​​your​​first​​crochet​​toy.
I made my Lion of cotton thread, but
acrylic yarn is fit as well. For Lionet hair I
used​​remains​​of​​bulky​​mohair​​yarn​​.

For​​the​​work​​you​​need:
cotton​​thread​​or​​acrylic​​yarn​​-​​30g​​(yellow
and​​white)
bulky​​wool​​or​​mohair​​yarn​​(brown​​or​​sand
color)​​-​​a​​little​​bit
plastic​​eyes​​of​​diameter​​~​​5​​mm
plastic​​nose

Hooks:​​1.5​​mm​​for​​cotton/acrylic​​yarn​​and
yet​​one​​for​​your​​hair​​yarn
