Lila Lamb-Bert The Knitting Sheep is a sweet little lamb who loves to knit. Lila is a very versatile pattern as she can be made as a girl or a boy. She can be made for any age - from babies to adults (just substitute the safety eyes for embroidered eyes and remove the knitting for babies and small children.) Lila sits beautifully by herself, and needs no propping up. This is an easier knit for those with some knitting experience.

You can sell your completed item! Just credit me as the designer.

Lila Lamb-Bert knit with bulky yarn is 23cm or 9 inches when sitting.
Lila Lamb-Bert knit with aran yarn is 20cm or 8 inches when sitting.

Lila Lamb-Bert can be knitted with either bulky yarn (as shown in the black and white sheep), or with aran yarn (as shown in the tan and white sheep.)
