Assembly & Finishing

• Stuff the body and head firmly with wool fiber as you close the last rounds to keep the shape even.
• Sew the nose/head piece onto the front of the head in position you prefer.
• Attach the ears to the upper sides of the head and sew the legs evenly spaced to the underside of the body so the lamb can sit or stand as desired.
• Embroider the eyes and nose with black thread from the materials list, or use preferred eye embellishments consistent with safety for the intended recipient.
• Use light brown thread for small details such as inner ears or hooves, if desired. Weave in all ends securely.

Tips

• Keep popcorn stitches consistent in size for an even fluffy texture.
• Adjust stuffing as you go to avoid lumps and to maintain the toy’s shape.
• Check placement of facial features before permanently sewing to ensure the expression and balance you want.

Enjoy crafting your little lamb—this sweet amigurumi makes a lovely handmade gift or a cozy decoration for a nursery or craft shelf.
