Pattern Description:

What says springtime more than darling little lambs? And Sweet Cheeks, Fuzzy Wuzzy, and Itty Bitty, with their adorable faces, chubby cheeks and soft, fluffy fuzziness are a perfect Spring trio! And they'd be a welcomed guest come Easter, as well. They come in three sizes, (sitting) approx. 11", 8", and 6", all in one pattern, so there's a lamb size for everyone, and no need to purchase multiple patterns to get different sizes. They're knit with bulky-wt. yarn for that soft, fuzzy fleece and a soft, light worsted-wt. yarn for their faces, hooves and ear-linings. These lovely sweet lambs are looking for someone to love them. Grab Itty Bitty for a take-a-long friend, small enough to fit just about anywhere. Fuzzy Wuzzy is a wonderful play-mate size. And Sweet Cheeks can take on the giant hugs and give lots of love back atcha!
