This charming crocheted lamb is a companion to the crocheted cat
that appears in the November/December 2003 issue of PieceWork.
The combination of fine yarn for the lamb’s legs, underside, and face,
with fuzzy yarn for the fleece, is particularly intriguing. The body of
the lamb is an armature over which the crocheted fleece is sewn.
