I am having so much fun creating African Themed Squares for the Knit-A-Square charity this month.
This weekend I finished crocheting the 10 Elephant Squares and then made my first Lion Square.
I made up the lion pattern by adapting the sun square into a background color with a yellow circle and then chained 10 and slip stitched the chain to form a loop. I did this in two rows in the front and back loops of the last circle row and then embroidered the face.
I am having so much fun making them and will show you more of the lions as I finish them!
What did you do this weekend? I would love to hear all about it!

Hi Melissa & Emmitt! I love the lion even more than the elephant. Mom thinks her zoo people would love the lion square too, so if you ever sell them, please let her know.
Keep up the great work!

The elephants and the lions are adorable! I hiked this weekend in Wisconsin, but felt like I was melting most of the time. It was very humid but we saw a lot of different plants and butterflies and this little frog who sat there real nice while we took its picture!
