Assembly and design
• Sew the muzzle to the head, place it under the eyes.
• Sew the ears to the head.
• Embroider nose, eyebrows, eyes.
• Attach panty-colored thread in front and work in 8 rows of 16sc in twisting rows.
• Make the straps for the pants, typing the required number of air loops, knit a row from hdc.
• Sew hands to body between rows 35 and 36.
• Make a slight tightening of the legs.
• Customize the pants as desired.
• Sew the head to the body.
• Cut the yarn for the mane
• Decorate the mane:
Attach -2 rows below the muzzle in each loop;
– make markings around the face;
– attach the yarn to each loop.
• Design the brush on the tail in the same way.
If you do not make a mane, you will get a cute bear cub, only knit the ears 2 rows less and tie a round tail!
Congratulations! Your lion cub is ready!
