This handmade lamb plushie holds a special place in my heart. My daughter adored it during her toddler years—it was her go-to cuddle buddy!
She’s grown up a bit since then, and our little lamb has seen plenty of love (and wear). Still, it’s been such a sweet and cherished friend over the years. If you’re looking to make a heartfelt gift for a child, this one’s a winner.
Want to turn your lamb plush into a soothing snuggle blanket? I’ve got you covered with a matching comfort blanket version right here:
A crochet lovey in the form of a sweet lamb lovey, is also available as a free crochet pattern here.

For this lamb stuffed animal crochet pattern I have used a combination of a cotton yarn for the face, feet, hands and ears and a cosy chenille yarn for the head and body. The yarn is a chunky chenille yarn from Paintbox and one of my absolute faves!. You could use any yarn similar to make this little lovey , I would suggest some of the following yarns.
Paintbox
Sirdar
For the face, any DK weight cotton yarn will work.
To make this cute crochet lamb stuffed animal you will need the following materials:

Pattern info:
This pattern is worked in the rounds.
When a series of stitches is repeated the sequence is written within * – * and the total number of times that sequence is repeated is written behind.
Each round has the amount of stitches written within ( – ).
When working in the round I suggest using stitch markers to keep track of where each round begins. Place the stitch marker in the first stitch of each round.
The pattern is read starting on the top left of the page and down, then from the top to the right and down.
