If it takes you less stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

| Amigurumi Lion Reviewed by VIRGINIA MARTINEZ on 2008-03-24 |

I used this as a teaching skill and it was great had no problem with the student ubderstanding the concept.
The only thing I changed was the eyes, I just stitched them.
It was cute and so easy.
