** Lion with Cherry Seeds will be 23 cm tall if using similar materials. The
measurement would change if you choose different weight yarns or hook size. Also,
since it is a handmade work, the toy you knit will be different from the toy I knit.
All of our handcrafts are different!

** I can not wait to see your lion. Please tag me on your photos, I will be happy to
see them.
