This is a gift for a good friend whose first baby is due mid-April. She is Scottish and the wee bairn's papa is French and a cheese seller. So I thought a little sheep was quite appropriate, and perfect for tiny hands to clutch at.
The improvised pattern turned out better than expected, although I might make a few adjustments to the shaping. Once I've done some more fiddlying with it, I might put it up here.
I suspect I'll be making plenty more of these little lambs as having a baby seems to be pretty contagious round these parts at the moment...
Pattern: My own improvisation
Needles: 4mm
Yarn: Unidentified recycled acrylic
He is wonderful! What a lovely chap. I think I also need to find a go-to-new-baby pattern the way things are looking! xx
