This cute little lamb with a built-in music box is a great gift for a newborn. The best part: you can choose the melody to suit your own taste, or the parents’ taste.
The lamb is crocheted entirely using single crochet stitches, with the pattern describing each round in detail. You can use teddy yarn (like the lamb in the picture). This makes the little animal nice and plush and fluffy, and you can hardly tell it was crocheted. The pattern also includes helpful tips on how to avoid problems with teddy yarn.
But if you’re not comfortable working with this material, you can just as easily use regular thick yarn and brush it up a bit afterward.

This cuddly bunny is made like a comfort blanket, meaning the body isn’t stuffed so the baby can grip it easily. The body is made from cotton yarn and teddy yarn, while the head, ears, and paws are made from velvety-soft, fine chenille yarn. This gives the animal a very special texture that encourages the baby to touch and explore. The eyes are, of course, embroidered!

Mauzi the Cuddly Kitten is crocheted in the same way as the bunny. Here, too, teddy yarn and cotton yarn are used for the body, and chenille yarn for the head, tail, and paws.

Little babies who aren’t quite ready to play with a “real” train set will still have lots of fun with a crocheted locomotive like this. It’s very sturdy, can be tossed around without causing any scratches, and is safe for babies to put in their mouths. And if it gets dirty, it can even be washed.
And when the baby gets a little bigger, they can take little dolls for a ride in the locomotive.
