Lion Granny Square Crochet Pattern

This lion granny square is approximately 20 cm x 20 cm (8.15″ x 8.15″), and can be used as a component for crocheted items such as a blanket or cushion cover. The square can be used repeatedly, or with others. This is the first of my ‘South African animal’ granny squares, so keep your eyes open for new designs coming soon


It can also be framed framed and hung on a wall, as home décor – ideal in a nursery, or a child’s bedroom.

The pattern (written in US terms) calls for DK yarn in six colours (beige, lime green, and camel, and very small amounts of white, very dark brown, and pale yellow), and a 4.00 mm crochet hook is used throughout. In total, the approximately yardage is 62 m (68 yds).

The only additional material required is a darning needle, with which to weave in the ends.
