MATERIALS

 Smooth Worsted Weight Yarn

o 130 yards – Main Color (MC)

 Boucle or other Fuzzy Worsted Weight Yarn

o 170 yards – Contrasting Color (CC)

  Embroidery floss or yarn for embroidering nose and eyes (black or your choice of color)
  Crochet Hook I (5.5mm) – or hook recommended by your chosen yarns
  Crochet Hook G (4.0-4.5mm) – or a size or two smaller than the recommended hook
  Tapestry Needle
  Stitch Marker
  Fiberfill

NOTES

  Gauge is not important to this project. Just make sure you are using a comfortable hook for the yarn you choose.
  An I hook with worsted weight yarn should give you around an 18” blanket square.
  Use a size or two smaller than recommended for the lamb’s head and arms to make sure the stuffing doesn’t

show through

 You may do the whole blanket in CC instead of switching to MC every other round if you want a fuzzier lovey

FINISHING

Center head over top of arms. The nose will be the front
of the head and R20 will be the back – the blanket
should be sewn onto the head at the bottom of the head
(or where a neck would normally be). Sew all along R1
of blanket – including the ch 3 corners and over top
arms using a long strand of your choice of yarn. Weave
in any loose tails
