Materials:
Scrap yarn
A 2.75 mm crochet hook
Making:
Start by crocheting two arms and two legs with yellow yarn! You make small cylindrical pieces using simple stitches like single crochet (SC). The arms are not stuffed, but the legs have a bit of stuffing. Continue with the body by joining the legs and crocheting in rounds to lengthen the torso. Stuff as you go to give the lion its shape. This part will work up into a smooth transition between legs and body. The mane is created by latching short strands of brown yarn around the head, giving it a full, shaggy look. The tail is a simple chain with strands latched onto the end. Sew all elements onto the body, ensuring the limbs are secure and the mane is full and even. The amigurumi lion, when finished, sits comfortably in the palm of your hand.

Making:
Begin with mustard yarn, crafting the initial rounds to form the base of the puppet. Progress through rounds, switching to brown yarn momentarily for color contrast, then revert to mustard yarn to complete the body. Finalize the cylindrical shape with a series of consistent stitches to give the puppet its structure before finishing off. Embroider the eyes with black and white yarn, adding personality and animation. The nose is also embroidered onto the puppet, giving the face more detail and dimension. More orange yarn is used to embroider a V pattern for the hair on the puppet's body, adding texture and enhancing the lion-like appearance.

This adorable crochet Lion Lovey Puppet starts with cropping the puppet's head and the body, which works as one piece. This part begins with a magic circle and incorporates various crochet techniques, including single crochet, double crochet, slip stitch, and invisible decrease, to shape the head. The head is further detailed with facial features such as eyes, ears, and a snout. The fluffiness of the puppet is brought about by the mane, crocheted separately with bright, fringed yarn, creating a striking contrast. Two arms, crocheted separately, add more detail and character to this cute puppet. The mane and arms, once done, were sewn onto the main body to complete the look.
