LAMB COSY

Make the Basic Body as given above in Yarn A.

FACE AND HEAD

Cast on 6 sts using two 2.75mm DPNs and Yarn B.

Note If preferred you can use a separate pair of single-pointed needles, but as the items are so small, it is just as easy to use two of the needles from the set of double-pointed needles. However, here you will be using the needles to knit back and forth rather than in the round.

Row 10 K2tog, knit to the last 2 sts, k2tog. [6 sts]

FINISHING

1 Neaten the cast-on and cast-off ends of the body.

2 With the cast-on edge of the Face at the bottom, embroider a small capital ‘Y’ at the centre bottom of the Face using Yarn A.

3 Using the white sewing thread, sew a silver sequin above and to either side of the ‘Y’ for eyes.

4 Sew the Face to the centre front of the Body, 5 rounds up from the ribbing.

5 Sew one of the side edges of each ear to the top of the face on either corner of the face.

Create the lamb’s mouth by embroidering a capital ‘Y’ in the lower portion of the face
