This cute lamb is soft and cuddly, and sized to fit in an Easter basket or large pocket. The textured stitch of the body makes it a favorite with young children, and the body shape allows it to sit upright by itself.
The body is worked flat, in rows; then face, legs, arms, and tail are worked in the round, stuffed, and sewn in place. Safety eyes create a cute face, but buttons or embroidery could be substituted if choking is not a risk.

Smaller or larger lambs could easily be made by using finer or thicker yarn with a correspondingly sized hook.
