6. Newborn Lamb Hat with Matching Plush Toy

This hat and toy were designed as a photo prop, but they’d also work well for any windy springtime day. You’ll use a plush yarn for the fuzzy parts of the lamb and hat; the designer advises using stitch markers for guidance since it’s difficult to see the stitches of the plush yarn.
