How to make a Christmas lamb
- French knit a cord roughly 17 inches long. If you haven’t French knitted before you can a tutorial here.
- Once you have your cord, tuck one tack in and leave one out for your hanging loop.
- Wind the cord into a circular spiral and stitch in place.
- Cut the face and hooves for your lamb from the black or brown felt.
- You can also cut some eyes from white felt or stitch some with white felt or beads.
- Using fabric glue stick the face and hooves on.
- Use the tail of your knitting to form a loop and knot close to the body of the lamb to be able to hang your ornament.
