Mane
Make 57 little chains. On the second chain after the needle, do 56 low stitches. Turn.
After making the last low stitch, make 20 chains and attach to the next base point with sl st .. Repeat for the entire length of the piece. Finish off with a long thread to sew. The mane should be placed around the head, so that the tips are close to the neck. Position the right side of the mane (front) around the head, so that the tips are below the muzzle. Use pins to keep it pinned while sewing.
Tip: Use universal glue to glue the mane to the lion’s head before sewing it on the head. Use pins to help secure it. Universal adhesives are very efficient. There is no need to sew the mane on the head depending on the use of the amigurumi.
Tail
With the color Gray, make 13 little chains. In the second little chain after the needle, make 12 sc. Finish off. Sew the tail on the back, below the shirt. With the color Pool Blue, cut five strips and make a knot at the end of the tail (see photo).
Sew the muzzle between the eyes, taking care that the top is sewn at row 56.
