Laurence the Tiger has pounced onto countless crochet hooks for more than ten years, becoming one of TOFT’s best-selling patterns in the menagerie. Perfect for learning how to change colour with his iconic stripes, this fierce feline is a fantastic gift for any wild animal lovers. Tigers are the largest wild cats in the world, and although this soft toy is much smaller and quieter than his real life cousins (who can be heard up to three kilometres away when they roar!) he certainly makes up for it with heaps of personality.

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. Once you’ve finished crocheting Laurence the Tiger, you’ll be ready to start the next animal in the collection with this addictive new hobby!

TOFT’s Edward’s Menagerie collection is a series of crochet amigurumi toys designed by Kerry Lord.

There are video links for all the crochet stitches and techniques used in the pattern to get you started and help you complete your toy.
