Introducing Leo the Lion

Last week I took up crocheting again. The occasion is the upcoming first birthday of my friend's son Leo. I also grabbed Amigurumi World by Ana Paula Rimoli from the shelf. I decided to crochet a lion for Leo. It's just suitable, isn't it?

Today I finished the little Lion. He came out just fine due to the great crochet pattern from Amigurumi World. The instruction to produce a muzzle with nose and mouth was very helpful. I decided to stitch on eyes because plastic eyes are not suitable for children under the age of 3. My sewing skills have been challenged but I think the resulting lion was worth it.

I hope Leo is going to like his new friend.
