Hi there and happy holidays everyone!
I have a SUPER cute amigurumi toy pattern for you today – the most adorable little lamb!
This baby or kids toy is just the right size for carrying everywhere, playing with on the go, or snuggling during quiet time.
I made her as a gift to a new mom & baby for Christmas.
Since having my little 6 month old Parker, I’ve made lots of new mom friends and they are always asking for recommendations – techniques, sage wisdom, and products are always on the list of questions.
I have a few solid standbys that I always recommend, chief among them – a good baby monitor.
I’ve been spoiled, and use the VTech VM341-216 Bear 2 Camera Full Color Video Monitor (from Babies R Us ).
This cute little VTech Bear Video Monitor comes with a teddy bear shaped camera and an additional camera that can be placed in separate rooms for monitoring – I have one set up in the nursery and one in Parker’s play space. Perfect for my peace of mind no matter where he is!
Both cameras have automatic night vision (no turning lights on to see baby!) and a full color LCD screen for the parents. I keep mine next to my bed at night so that I can check on him without getting up – saving precious mama energy.
I love recommending this monitor to all my new mama friends – but what’s better than giving a handmade gift along with this monitor? Nothing is better, I tell ya!
I will be packing mine up in a stocking for baby and new mom this season – I dare you to find a better stocking stuffer than this combo right here!
While this monitor gives Mom warm happy thoughts (who doesn’t just love watching baby snooze?) – this little lamb will give baby some warm, happy moments too!
I made her using 2 different kinds of yarn, a cotton for the face and limbs (more durable and baby-proof!) and a fuzzier acrylic yarn for the body and head. The best of both worlds!
She works up pretty quickly and is so much fun to give to any little one – I know this isn’t the last lamb in my life, I may have to make another one for Parker!

Now that is an awesome gift for a new Mom! Something for her (the monitor) and something for baby (the lamb). Brilliant! #client
Beth says
Baby and Lamb are the cutest. As a grandma, I will make this, probably multiple times. Thank you!
Michele says
Cutest lamb ever. But I love that red stocking too! Do you have the pattern or are thinking about posting it? It is very original.
Thanks so much,
Michele
Ashleigh says
I’ll be posting that stocking next week! 🙂
Nancy says
I was so busy looking at the baby (beautiful baby) I nearly missed the lamb!! Nice pattern, thank you so much!
Dali says
The lamb is too cute. Which yarn in white would you recommend? The. Cotten I have some left over from the CAL
Ashleigh says
I used 24/7 Cotton in Ecru and Vanna’s choice for the white. I tried it with 24/7 cotton in white but preferred mixing textures 🙂
Rachele Ward says
Hello, I’m in the middle of making this cute lamb and for some reason no matter how I try on the head between Row 9 and 10 it’s not adding up.
Round 9 I end with a count of 54 stitches. When I get done with Row 10 I end up with 42 stitches. Any idea of what I’m doing wrong?
Cindy says
This is so cute. Thanks for sharing so many lovely ideas. I really wanted to save this pattern, but Pinterest would not bring up a picture on my iPad. Looked in Ravelry and it’s not there yet. I’ll try to come back and try again.
