Baby Lion

How do you make a cuddly baby cuddlier?
Put him in a cute as heck costume. I found this at Value Village, last night, for less than $3.

He didn’t like it at first. He actually whined until I put him on the table. then, he whined more. I realized what he was whining for, though! my lens cap! He likes to try to put it on. I sometimes put it on and he likes snapping it off. I bet one day I’ll regret it. like, the day he scratches my lens or something equally as horrifying.

after that grew old, he played on the fish for a bit.

After a bit, he realized there was something on his head! He started to revolt and so I snapped a few of angry-face-lion and helped him out of it. Once it was off, he started cuddling the costume. I don’t blame him–I wanted to squeeze him the entire time he wore it!

Pattern: improvised. I WAS going to make Le Slouch by knit and tonic, but I decided to change things up. I’ve made a beret before, afterall! see? I started with 72 stitches and a twisted rib. I increased (over a few rounds) to 120 and knit for about 6.25″ before starting my rapid decreases (12 stitches each round).
Needles: US 8 throughout.
Yarn: Caron Simply Soft in ‘Charcoal Heather’
