I made this little lamb from the free pattern I found via Ravelry.
The pattern is very easy to follow and well set out with clear instructions. I made it in a couple of evenings.
I couldn’t get the recommended yarn but did have a ball of Drops Boucle which I thought would be good for the fleece effect.
I found the Boucle impossible to crochet with though. I just couldn’t see the stitches and kept missing them and getting holes and mis counted rounds.
So I tried holding the yarn along with some cream 4ply I had and it made the stitch definition much better and actually gave the fleece a two tone look.
The face, ears and hooves were done in brown double knit.
I recommend following the instructions for defining the eyes, it really made a big difference to the face and also the yarn wrapping to make the split hooves, it really finished off the look.
Very pleased with the finished lamb.
