Timo – Tiger & Lion Crochet Pattern

🐯 Timo the Tiger – Change the Colours to Create a Lion or White Tiger!

Crochet your very own Timo the Tiger – a soft and adorable character with big paws, round ears, a long tail, and a beautifully detailed face. 🐯🧶

His embroidered stripes, white paws, and light-coloured muzzle give Timo his classic tiger look. But there’s even more you can create with this pattern: simply change the colours to give your finished animal a completely different appearance! ❤️

By adjusting the colours and leaving out the tiger stripes, you can also make a white tiger or a lion. For the lion version, the ears are worked according to the same instructions, but with one round fewer. One pattern gives you several lovely possibilities. 🐯🦁✨

Using the materials specified in the pattern, the finished animal measures approximately 24 cm (9.4 inches) tall.
