Lions are considered the king of the jungle because of their size and strength and because they have no fear of any other animal. This adorable Leo Lion is the spirit animal for Crochet Wizzard’s Adventures. The Lion Lens Buddy is made on an Addi Pro Knitting Machine. Add it to your camera lens so children will smile at the camera. Also included are instructions to make Owl and Unicorn Lens Buddies.
