Stuffed Animal Lamb – Free Crochet Pattern for a Fluffy Friend!

Now she is a few years older and i have to admit that the lamb have seen its best days. But it have been a truly beloved companion during the years! I highly recommend you crochet this for any child you love!

If you want to turn this crochet stuffed animal into a comfort blanket you can find patterns for that here.
