Easy Peasy Crochet Lamb Ornaments

Adorn your Christmas tree with easy-peasy crochet lamb ornaments or use them to embellish your gifts. You can make a whole flock of adorable lambs in an evening.

Ann from Ann’s Snap Edit Scrap posted a pic on social media and I asked her how to make them. Ann said she got the idea from Marie from Spun by ME.

I wish I could share a link to the original source but even a search on Pinterest didn’t help. I just used a photo for inspiration and directions from Ann’s adaptation.

Crochet Wreath

Sweet little holiday wreaths can be made the same way. Choose a shade of green yarn and embellish with a tiny red bow and/or tiny stick-on gems.

These crochet wreaths are sweet to decorate gift bags or presents. I make 3-inch x 5-inch cakes or quick bread to give as gifts to neighbors and friends. Presented in a small gift bag with a homemade ornament, you have a cute, inexpensive and thoughtful gift.

How to make crochet lamb ornaments

Attach yarn and single crochet around shower curtain ring.

From a piece of felt, cut out lamb head. At first I used fabric glue but found it easier to use a hot glue gun since there is no waiting for the glue to dry. Add a tuft of yarn to the top of the head (sorry, no pic of this).

Cut twigs to 1.5-inches in length and glue into place on the back of the ring.

Crochet lamb ornaments can be made in different yarn but the homespun brand will give it a bumpy/curly look.

Crochet Lamb Ornaments using Shower Curtain Rings

SUPPLIES

Plastic shower curtain rings

small amount of yarn in color of choice. I used Lion Brand Homespun yarn, color Pearls (shown in first photo)

Crochet hook (I used H-size)

Black felt or color of choice for the head of the lamb. Note: you could also use black card stock. I don’t recommend construction paper.

Hot glue gun and glue sticks

thin twigs or sticks for legs

FOR WREATH:

stick-on rhinestone gems

Tiny red bows or ribbon to make bows

Lion Brand Homespun yarn, green

HOW-TO

Close plastic shower curtain ring.

Attach yarn with a square knot where the closure is, leaving a length that you will use for making a hanging loop.

Single crochet around the ring until it is completely covered. The number of single crochet will vary depending on the yarn used. I worked 35-40 single crochet around the rings I used.

When the ring is covered, cut the yarn, leaving a tail; tie a square knot with the beginning length of yarn and then knot the two piece together, forming a loop.

Use the pattern to cut out the lamb head.

Using hot glue, attach felt head to the top of the ring.

Swirl a tiny piece of yarn into a circular shape and glue it to the top of the head.

Cut thin twigs or sticks 1.5-inches long. Attach to the back with the hot glue.
