Many of my friends have requested a knit replication of their cherished pet. I’ve decided to share some of the designs with the knitting community!

When you see the first frisky lambs appearing in the meadows, you know spring is in the air! Sheep like variety in their meals and munchies and are selective in picking their provisions: they especially love forbs, broad-leafed flowering plants (not being grass). Although, IRL, daffodils may not be a sheeps’ safest staple, the forbs in this pattern are entirely edible for your lanose lamb. So, to make sure your lamb doesn’t go hungry and to keep it from harassing your house plants, make sure to also knit plenty of daffodils!

This project is an easy knit, it asks for some knitting flat, in the round and minor short row knitting. This lamb was made on 2 mm (UK 14, US 0) double pointed needles in Drops Alpaca Bouclé (100) nature, stuffed with soft toy filling and it measures 11 cm from nose to tail.
The 5.5 cm daffodils were knitted flat and as i-cord in miniature (1 mm dpn) in single plies of Schachenmayr Merino extrafine 120, but can also be done on thicker needles, in heavier yarn and will turn out a little bulkier.

Happy Springtime Knitting! Viv
