Assembly 

Start by attaching the legs to the body.  Attach top of front legs right around the 3rd round of the body, approximately 3 stitches apart.  Attach the top of the back legs around the 10th round.

Now that the legs are all secure in place, bend the front legs so that there is a slight bend towards the upper portion and secure in place.  Repeat with the back legs. The legs should be secured down to look something like this:

Using the tail from the body, secure the head to the front with either the mattress stitch or a whip stitch.  You will need an extra piece of fluffy yarn to tac the head sideways (as is shown), or you can leave it forward facing if you prefer.

Attach the ears roughly 3-4 fluffy rounds back from the eyes on the fluffy portion of the head.

The last piece is to attach the tail.  I attached mine directly over the foundation of the body.  Now you can weave in all the ends and your Linda the Lamb is officially complete.

You may also choose to add some flowers if you’d like.  I made 3 flowers and 2 leaves and simply attached in a bunch by one ear.

Weave in all the ends from the flowers, and thats all there is to it!

I hope you enjoyed adding this sweet little lamb to your crochet collection and that you’ll take a minute to share your completed Linda the lamb with me on social media or in the comments below! I love seeing all your work!
