Little mary lamb pattern series has been released!
This is the perfect lovey for a precious little baby.
This lovey is croched with a cuddly yarn called Smudge from a brand named Sirdar, it is so cosy and easy to work with.
I have combined it with a cotton yarn from katia called cotton-stretch that can be found here.
You can find the yarns i have used if you want to check it out!
However any cuddly yarn and cotton yarn that matches the hook size required for this pattern can be used.

Thank you so much for allowing this pattern to be available for free. Just made my first one for my new born grandchild
Amanda,
Would you mind sharing the brands of yarn you used for your lovey?
Thanks!
Absolutely beautiful lamb cuddler . My parents church go to Rural areas where there is no running water or electricity and they give food and other groceries. i’m crocheting toys for children.
I am so excited to make the Little Mary lamb lovey. Would you please tell the weights of the yarns you used? In shopping for the velvet yarn, I found that the Lion Brand is a (4) worsted and the Bernat is a (5) chunky. I’m assuming the cotton yarn is a (4) worsted?
Thank you for making this adorable pattern available for free.
Admin, please disregard my prior comment. I hadn’t seen that you had links to the yarns you used and other yarn details. Sorry about that.
How do I get this Free Mary had a Little Lamb pattern? It s like a ring a round situation. Can t get the pattern just advertisement. Very frustrating!
The Free version is written at the end of the post
I don’t understand how to do the hands and feet. The picture looks like they were stitched separately and then added but I don’t see a pattern for them. Almost done and loving this pattern. Ready to attach head.
No, the hands and feet are made by wrapping yarn around each corner:)
I translate your pattern to Dutch and make one. I love it. Thanks.❤
Hi, I interested in purchasing your products, could you give me more information to make purchases from Colombia. Thanks..!!
