MORE DETAILS ON HOW TO ASSEMBLY AMIGURUMI LION, LEON

1.Crochet the body, muzzle, ears, arms, legs, and tail of Amigurumi Lion and stuffed them as instructed in the crochet pattern.

2.Crochet head and sew Muzzle to the head.

After completed round 33 of the Head, stuff it with polyester filling.

Position the muzzle on the head with the center of the muzzle at the 2nd round of the Head. Pin in on.

Sew around the muzzle, followed by stuffing some polyester filling to the muzzle before finish up.

3.Sew a philtrum line with black yarn.

Remove some polyester filling from the head to install a safety nose through the starting round of the head.

Re-stuff the head again after the safety nose has been installed.

Crochet to complete the head.

4.Sew eyes at round 13, and 17 stitches apart.

Do not cut the yarn after sewing the first eye, instead, insert it into the head and come out from the position of the second eye. Sew the second eye onto the head

Pull the yarn a little to sink the eyes to the head, knot securely. You can run the yarn through the head a few times to prevent

the single strand of yarn from snapping in the long run.

5.Sew the ears to the head, position at about 6 rounds at the back of the eyes.

The contact area between the base of the ear and the head is in a form of a triangle shape.

Parts are getting ready for the final assembly.

6.Sew Head to the Body

Mark the centerline below the head and the top of the body.

Position the head to the body (refer to the picture) below. Sew the head to the body at 1 stitch away from the centerlines, sew about 7 stitches from the center of the body to the front, followed by 2 stitches to the side. Sew about 9 stitches to the back and another 2 stitches to the side followed by 2 stitches to complete the stitching.

The contact area of the head is a rectangle of 9 sts x 2 sts.

The head will tilt a little to the front.

7.Sew arms at the side, next to the seam of the head and body.

Followed by sewing legs at round 15 (from the bottom) of the body.

Lastly, sew the tail to the back of the body

8.Sew 3 black lines on each limb as the toe lines of the lion.

9.Cut Mane strips by winding yarn on a 4″ cardboard and cut them into 4″ strips. The amigurumi lion needs about 1000 of 4″ strips to be tied on the head.
