Other Info

• The pattern involves crocheting separate parts and sewing them together. Some of these parts include amigurumi lion mane, tail, and attaching the keychain.For example, for The Amigurumi Lion's Mane:
  • Crochet with orange yarn as a separate piece.
  • Chain 34 and slip stitch to the first loop to make a ring.
  • Chain 8, then slip stitch to the next stitch in the ring. Repeat from * until the end of the circle.
  • Slip the loop over your amigurumi lion keychain’s ears and tuck it under its chin so it fits snugly and evenly around.
  • Sew it securely to the toy with the same-colored yarn.
• For Attaching the Keychain:
  • Join the keychain to the middle of the lion’s head, just behind the mane, by sewing the loop on with yellow coloured yarn.

The pattern encourages hand-sewing parts together and gives tips for ensuring a snug and secure fit for added elements like the mane around the lion's face.
