Isn’t this a cute little lamb? It’s loved not just at Easter! Crochet it using cozy, fluffy yarn, and it’ll be extra soft. You don’t need to follow any stitch pattern for it, because you only crochet single stitches. Stitch markers help with placing the increases and decreases. If you crochet with a thin contrasting thread, you’ll also be able to see the stitches better. With the recommended yarn (Phil Douce by Phildar), the lamb will be big enough to fit a music box with your favorite melody inside.

Lilly the Lamb Crochet Pattern
Click here to go directly to the crochet pattern

The cute little lamb “Lilly” and her sweet hearts are waiting for you to adopt them! This adorable lamb measures about 16 cm tall and makes a reliable cuddle buddy. The small heart is 5 cm tall and 5 cm wide at its widest point. The large heart is about 6 cm tall and about 7 cm wide at its widest point. In a total of 27 pages with more than 50 pictures, I explain everything in great detail. I also explain how to crochet the bobbles in detail with pictures at the beginning of the pattern. This makes everything easy to understand! Although the lamb is crocheted exclusively with single crochet stitches and bobbles, Lilly shouldn’t be your first crochet project. You should be comfortable with decreasing and increasing stitches, as well as making a magic ring. What you’ll need:
  • Approx. 45 g of yarn suitable for a size 3 crochet hook. Approx. 10 g of brown yarn for the nose and the undersides of the arms and legs. Leftover yarn for embroidering the face. Black or beige leftover yarn for embroidering the face
  • A size 3 mm crochet hook
  • Scissors, darning needle
  • Stuffing (Why not try using real sheep’s wool to stuff the little sheep? It’ll make it look even more authentic ;-) )
  • 8 mm safety eyes
  • For the hearts, red or pink yarn that’s also suitable for a 3 mm crochet hook

Lion Lennox Crochet Pattern
Go directly to the crochet pattern here

Hello, dear friends!! My name is Lennox and I am a small but proud lion cub. I will be about 12 cm tall and am an absolutely reliable and loyal partner who will always make you smile! I am house-trained and hardly give you any work around the house. In general, I am very independent and perfectly suited to become your new cuddle buddy ;-) You should know how to do this
  • Crocheting single crochet stitches in spiral rounds
  • Making a magic ring
  • Slip stitches
  • Sewing on the individual pieces
  • So, general basic crochet skills
Scope: 25-page crochet pattern with lots of pictures for every step. I won’t leave you on your own when sewing the individual pieces together either
Difficulty level: Easy, though you should have worked in spiral rounds before. What you need:
  • Approx. 20g yarn (Schoeller Stahl Zimba medium in color 0218) in the color you want your lion to be. The yarn should be suitable for a 3mm crochet hook (Schoeller Stahl’s yarn recommends a 3.5mm hook, but it can be crocheted very well with a 3mm hook)
  • Approx. 20g strands for the lion’s mane (I used eyelash yarn, but it also works great with regular leftover yarn).
  • White leftover yarn suitable for a 2mm crochet hook
  • Brown thread for the nose
  • Safety eyes (8 mm)
  • Stuffing
  • Scissors, darning needle
  • Stitch marker
  • Pins to hold the individual limbs in place before sewing them together

  • Also leftover yarn in white, light blue, and black for the eyes, apricot for the tail and nose, and various other colors for the Easter eggs. (a good way to use up leftover yarn)

Lea the little lamb is a cuddly little lamb looking for a new home—and not just at Easter time. With her colorful bow, she really does look cute, doesn’t she?

The pattern includes many step-by-step photos that make it easier to follow. However, you should have basic crochet knowledge (single crochet, increases, decreases, etc.).

I personally recommend cotton yarn for making all of my amigurumi.

The following materials are needed to make it:
  • 250 g cotton yarn in white
  • 50 g cotton yarn in soft apricot
  • 25 g cotton yarn in medium brown
  • scrap cotton yarn in bright colors (for the hair bow)
  • scrap cotton yarn in black (for the nose)
  • one pair of safety eyes, 15 mm, in brown-black
  • stuffing
  • crochet hook size 3
Here is the pattern:

No one can resist this cute little face! With the help of this pattern, you can crochet your own arctic fox/red fox. The pattern is described in great detail over 11 pages, and many pictures help you with the process, so even crochet beginners will soon be able to hold their own little fox baby in their hands.To crochet the fox, you will need:• A size 2-3 crochet hook, depending on the yarn used • Yarn: you can use any yarn you like; ideally, it should be a polyacrylic/wool blend, as it is nice and cuddly and can be brushed really well. I used a brushed acrylic/mohair yarn with a mohair look for both foxes, approx. (250m-50g), and held it double. However, you can use any yarn from your stash that matches fox colors, but keep in mind that this will change the size of the foxes. Because I used the lace yarn double, my foxes are quite small (approx. 13 cm long and 9 cm high). • You need scraps in orange and white for the red fox. • Scraps in white and taupe for the arctic fox. • Brown yarn to embroider the nose and paws.If you use different yarn, you may need to adjust the stated yarn quantities.• A darning needle for weaving in ends • Scissors • A row marker or a thread in a contrasting color to mark the beginning of each round • Sewing thread in a matching color to sew on the head, eyes, tail, and paws. • Stuffing • Small black beads for the eyes.To crochet the foxes, you need to know the following:• Single crochet (sc) • Decreases, increases • Slip stitch • Magic ringClick here to go directly to the pattern
