FOTF Color Guide: Lord a-Leaping

BELOW is the color guide for my Gold Lord a-Leaping using Felt On The Fly’s beautiful felts.
PATTERN can be purchased here.

*You may be thinking, ‘Wait, no, his leaping Lordship is number 10!’ And you are right! He is #10 in the modern carol. But not in the original carol from 1780, which is what this series is based on. But maybe 1780 style is not your jam? No worries, see this post to easily re-number yours.
