Free crochet lamb pattern

Our adorable crochet lamb is the perfect project to hook around Easter-time. After all, nothing says that spring is here like the sight of little baby lambs gambolling across fields.

This amazing amigurumi crochet lamb was designed by Vanessa Mooncie and first appeared back in issue 55 of Simply Crochet, and now we’re bringing it to you on Gathered as a special spring-time treat.

Gwendolyn the lamb has a fleece with fabulous touchable texture thanks to clever bobble stitches, plus the sweet spring flowers really help to celebrate the season (you can always skip the flower in her mouth if you choose to).

It’s a brilliant project to perfect your amigurumi skills, and if you’re looking for amigurumi advice and pro tips, check out our how to crochet amigurumi guide.

Notes

The Head, Tail and the first part of the Body and Legs are worked using the amigurumi method. Work in a continuous spiral without closing off each round with a slip stitch. You may find it helpful to place a marker in the first st of each round and move it up as you work.

The front of the Body and Legs are worked in rows.

The bobble pattern appears on the reverse side of the Lamb as you crochet.
