Knitting Pattern: Mochi Lion (English)
Soft, round, and full of charm, Mochi Lion brings a little roar of courage wrapped in cuteness. He’s here to spread warmth, strength, and playfulness all in one cuddly bundle.
You’ll knit him in the round, making all the parts separately. His mane is knitted in a different color and sewn on, giving him that iconic lion look. After stuffing each piece, you’ll sew them together to bring him to life. His face and paws are embroidered at the end, adding all the personality that makes Mochi Lion truly unique.
Perfect for knitters who love creating lovable companions, Mochi Lion is ready to be your next joyful project.
