Meet Lonny! Lonny is sweet and cute and a smaller version of most of my patterns. I wanted to offer a pattern that was smaller, easier and quicker to make. Lonny measures only about 18”

UPDATE MAY 2022: I am in the process of updating all my early chart/advanced crochet patterns to fully written out easy to read patterns and LONNY IS UPDATED!! This new PDF is 7 pages with a written-out pattern to make it easy to understand.

This is a sweet guy! But, with crochet you can custom this to make any color and make he a she and make a completely different lamb. I have used a pink boucle yarn with this pattern and it turned out adorable!

I would love to see your lambs/sheep made from this pattern so please tag me on IG @theburgundybasket

Materials:
This Lamb uses an assortment of yarns from my stash and from other of the animals in my Farm Series. For Lonny’s face, inner ear and legs I have used almost one full skein of Bernat Pipsqueak yarn in Whitey White. I know many don’t like to use this yarn, but it really is perfect for some crochet animals. To help make it easier to work with – and also what I have done – is hold a strand of a baby yarn in white with it to make it easier to see/feel your stitches. One of the good things about using this yarn is that it is very forgiving! So, if you do make a mistake or miss a stitch, you will likely never see it. So, hold two strands – one the Pipsqueak and one a #3 baby yarn.
For the Gray, I have used Big Twist Sincerely in this gray/white mix. It is perfect for making Lonny because you get a nice mixed color, but like with the fuzzy white yarn above, I have held a second strand of a gray mohair yarn to get a fuzziness to Lonny. So, for all parts of this animal I have used 2 strands of yarn and a size H/5mm hook. If you use a single strand of yarn, your finished project will be different than mine. If you change materials, please adjust your hook size accordingly.
-Hook: I have used a H/5mm hook for this pattern for everything except the outer ear circle. I used a size I/5.5mm hook for that.
-Safety Eyes or buttons (or yarn to embroider if you choose) and needle to embroider face. The eyes that I have used are 15mm.

This and all my patterns use US CROCHET TERMS.
