Crochet the most adorable lamb for your magical moments or as a nice gift for someone special! Free crochet pattern with easy to follow written instructions and photo tutorial for adorable lamb amigurumi toy which is perfect for inspiring your child's curiosity about farm animals. 

SUPPLIES YOU NEED

ca 50 gr cotton yarn (e.g.Schachenmayr Catania 125m/50g) in two colors: white and brown, crochet hook 3 mm, polyester fiberfill stuffing, scissors, yarn needle.

SKILL LEVEL

Intermediate

SIZE

The ready amigurumi is approx. 26 cm, can be made bigger or smaller depending on the yarn and hook you use.

SKILLS YOU NEED

chain, single crochet, double crochet, half double crochet, slip stitch, increase, decrease

ABBREVIATIONS

Ch =chain

St = stitch

Sc =single crochet

Sl st = slip stitch

dec = decrease stitch (two single crochets together)

inc = increase stitch (two single crochets into one stitch)

Dc = double crochet

Rnd = Round

TIPPS

  • Do not join rounds, work in a continuous spiral.
  • Use a stitch marker or a piece of yarn to mark the end or the beginning of a round.
  • All stitches are worked into both loops, unless stated otherwise in the pattern.
  • You can use any type of yarn as long as you have a corresponding crochet hook size (check yarn label for recommendations).
  • Numbers at the end of each round in parentheses ( ) = total number of stitches for that round or row.
  • Please note that I use US crochet terms.

Seamsless way of changing color when working in the round

Pick up the new color at the end of the round: inset your hook into the stitch, yarn over the new color and pull through the stitch and the loop on your hook to complete the stitch.

SHIFT STITCH

Sometimes during a work of the spiral amigurumi, you need to keep the work symmetrically. As work tends to twist to the right you need to adjust position of the marker periodically (beginning of the round).

Shift stitch is an extra stitch you work at the end of a round to make your work look symmetrical. If you notice that marker moves right, you need to work one extra stitch in the end of the round and move marker for one stitch (now 2nd st of the round becomes 1st). this is shift stitch.

The shift stitch is not included in the round description. To check if it’s time to work shift stitch fold your work in half and check if marker still goes straight or use a yarn that marks a straight line.

You may think this is a increase, but it isn’t. This way you don’t increase or decrease the amount of stitches. The stitches count remains the same.

Mark where you want the eyes to be placed with pins and sew them with the distance of 5-6 stitches to the head of your lamb.

Blog content image for 'Free Crochet Pattern for Sheep Amigurumi'

Embroider nose with brown color yarn. Begin with the outline of the upside down triangle. Insert the needle through the top of the head and pull it through leaving a little bit of a tail. Then insert the needle 1-2 rows under the eyes and pull it through where you want your lamb’s nose to be. Add a line to the nose using same brown color yarn. At the end pull the needle out the same hole it originally went into, so that both yarn tails are coming out of the same hole. Tie a knot with both yarn tails, as close to the surface of the head as possible. Hide the yarn tails inside the head. 

Embroider eyebrows with brown color yarn. You can also add eyelashes. Embroider mouth if desired. Proceed to the smile if desired. Hide the yarn tails inside the head
