Toft Rufus the Lion

Rufus the Lion is one of the oldest and most loved members of Edward's Menagerie by Kerry Lord, and has been the first project on countless crochet hooks for over ten years. Easy to make and a little smaller than his savannah-dwelling cousins, this roarsome fellow will sit comfortably in your hand and will take pride of place in your wild animal collection.

This soft toy will look at home in the nursery, sitting on the shelf or lovingly gift-wrapped for the loved ones in your life.
