Roar! If you are a fan of wildlife, amigurumi is a great way to honor its versatility and fragility. Did you know that African lion’s population decreased by 43% in the last 21 years? That’s a horrible loss! It’s now only living in the areas of parks and natural wildlife reserves. You can make your own little king of the savanna – with crochet hook! Cute little pocket lion or bigger squishy one can become a lovely gift for a kid or adult. Making lion toys and giving them away is a great opportunity to educate people you love about their real-life equivalent and problems it has to face nowadays. Take a look at examples below and search for links to free patterns under the pictures.
