We're very sorry, this pattern is no longer available

If you peer through the jungle overgrowth at just the right time, as the sun is starting to set, you may catch a glimpse of a very special sight – Billy the lion getting ready for a restful night’s sleep in his favorite zebra-themed pyjamas! This fiendishly friendly fella by Irene Strange is easy to crochet, using only the simplest of stitches. Because he’s worked on a 5.5mm hook with aran-weight yarn, this project is also quick to make.
