** This listing is for a Crochet Pattern only NOT a finished item. It is a listing for a downloadable pdf file with the instructions on how to crochet a tiger for yourself ** This pattern is only available in the English language.

Stanley loves nature, collects feathers, chases butterflies and can’t wait to grow up and join his mum working in the museum. It’s his absolute favourite place to be. He’s been studying the new bald creatures he finds trying to walk on two legs. He’s pretty sure with a bit more work, he might be able to teach them to draw.

Stanley is a good cuddle size, he measures about 8 inches sitting in a DK yarn, but he can be made from any weight yarn and appropriate hook for different sizes. The pattern contains instructions for both a jointed tiger and a tiger with fixed arms and legs. This is an Advanced skilled pattern, but it is an easy pattern to follow with plenty of photos to help with tricky bits, and if you run into any problems you will always be welcome to contact me for any extra help. This pattern is available in US and UK Terminology and you will receive a download link to both files.
