Pattern info:  

Remember, each lovey lamb is unique and made with love.

Your own lovey lamb can become a cherished keepsake for years to come.

• 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.

My tip on changing from cotton to chenille and 3,0mm hook to 5,0mm

If you are having trouble getting the bigger hook through the cotton stitches, insert the hook backwards (see pictures in the free pdf download)
