Crochet Lamb Pattern and Baby Mobile

Materials:
- Worsted weight yarn in cream, brown, gray or any color of your choice. I also think a pink
or blue lamb would be nice for a baby room.
- Furry Yarn. I used Bernat Pipsqueak in Whitey White
- Size H crochet hook.
- Tapestry needle
- Small safety eyes
- Stitch marker
- Poly-fil stuffing

You won't be able to see the flaws!

 Now lets put together the mobile!

- I used the inside of an 8" wooden embroidery hoop and painted it white.
- Darice White Picket Fence (which I found at Jo-Ann Fabrics but if you google it you can
purchase it online from multiple places). I had to buy two since one is too short to fit around
the entire hoop.
- White worsted weight yarn to string everything together
- 3 white clouds which I cut out from felt (you will need to cut 6 clouds, lightly stuffed with
poly-fil and stitched around the edge with 2-ply yarn and a tapestry needle). I used THIS as
my template for the clouds.
- And my crochet lambs.
 First thing you will want to do is cut a long piece of worsted weight yarn and string it
through the cloud and crochet lamb. Use a tapestry needle to send the yarn up the
middle of the cloud and then through the body of the lamb (near the neck). Now loop
your yarn back up the bottom of the lamb and make a knot. You can weave it through
again to make sure it is tightly secured to the crochet lamb.

Tie the yarn onto your painted embroidery hoop. Hopefully you still have a long end left
that will tie together with your other two strings and attach to a hook from the ceiling. If
your yarn isn't long enough, just tie on a second string so that you will be able to hang it.
You will want to repeat this entire process with all three of your lambs/clouds and place
them evenly around your hoop.

Now hot glue your white picket fence over the outer edge of the embroidery hoop and
over the yarn that you have tied on.

Tie the strings together and hang from a cup hook in your ceiling.
Disclaimer: Please use extreme caution if placing this over a crib. Make sure all your pieces
are secure. In fact, I decided to place mine in the corner of the room near the changing
table. I don't trust this craft to be a safe object to place over the baby's crib.
