Happy Monday folks!
Just as promised here is the baby boy version of the little lamb cuddly.
I finished it just in time and was able to give it to my neighbor the day before she left to have her scheduled C-section. She was very happy to receive it and immediately put it in the house to await her baby boy. 🥰
I made sure to stuff the head thick and snug this time so it would turn out fluffier and stronger.
I wanted to change up the colors so for the face I used a light brown instead of gray. For the nose I used an ivory color similar to the body of the lamb. I like the results of the change to make it more masculine for a baby boy.
The eyes were a lot easier to do. Since I didn’t have to make eyelashes this time I focused on making them a little thicker. I pinned down the shape I wanted and then threaded around the length of the eye making sure to grab the brown ever so often to help keep them in place and secured.
Here’s an up close comparison of both lambs…
You can see that the boy version’s face and head are much fluffier. It also went quicker this time since I didn’t have to make and sew on a bow.
Here are a few more pics from the photoshoot. This is always my favorite part ☺️…
Looks like he found his foot to play with lol.
Notice his left hand? I taught him how to wave so he could say hi to you! 😁
I thought it would be cute to see a cuddly cuddling a blanket. What do you think?
I really had fun making these lambs. I will definitely keep them on my list as baby shower gifts. You don’t need a lot of yarn and can get them made in less than a week if you stick to it. It only took me 4 crocheting sessions/days to complete this.
Oh and guess who tried to take this one? Yep, my now four year old daughter (we celebrated her birthday yesterday). She told me she wanted to have one now but I told her it was a gift for our neighbor.
For those of you who don’t know, I made the first lamb for her but she decided not to keep her because she was too “sleepy”. She did not want something that reminded her of taking a nap. 😄
I hope you enjoyed reading as much as I did sharing!
