Amigurumi lamb

I can’t get over how cute these baby lambs are, so I had to share the pattern with you :3

**(These lambs are a modified and adapted pattern from Go Handmade’s Teddy Basserne pattern — I adapted her body and ears and created a new pattern for her limbs and face)**

The lambs following her pattern are approximately 37cm tall, and the one following my adaption is palm-sized (approximately 15cm tall) - here is a picture as a size comparison guide!

Now for the exciting part, the pattern:

Materials:

• 3.5mm crochet hook

• 2x 8mm eyes

• 8ply yarn colour of your choice (for “skin”)

• Chenille/fairyfloss/fluffy yarn colour of your choice (for “fluffy” parts) • Pink yarn (for embroidering “snout/nose“) • Scissors

• Yarn needle

• Polyester stuffing

Recommended: • Stitch marker - especially since we are working with fluffy yarn

• 4mm crochet hook - for working with fluffy yarn, I find it easier to crochet with a hook one-size-up when working with a chunkier yarn

mc - magic circle

sc - single crochet

inc - increase

dec - decrease

ch(x) - chain (x) number of stitches
