Lamb Baby Blanket Knitting PatternDigital knitting pattern

The little faces are your finishing touch.
The white sheep are knitted into the green fabric. Their black eyes, ears and feet are added afterwards with duplicate stitch, following the diagrams.
Separating those stages lets you concentrate on the two-colour knitting first, then bring each little lamb to life with the final details.
The details that make this project yours.
Written colour changes
The knitting directions spell out the green and white stitches. Separate diagrams show where the black finishing details belong.
Help for both techniques
Links cover colourwork knitting and duplicate stitch—the two skills that create the flock.
A blanket made continuously, with the border included.
Work back and forth on a circular needle, beginning with garter stitch. The ten-stitch side borders stay in place while the centre is worked in stockinette and colourwork.
The sheep rows are placed at the ends of the blanket, with a quieter green centre between them. Finish the upper border, weave in ends, then add the black details.

Ask us a questionWhat is included?
A 5-page English PDF with supplies, gauge, two finished sizes, written colourwork instructions, sheep-detail diagrams and linked help for colourwork and duplicate stitch. The same download covers the smaller and larger blankets.
Is this the right level for me?
Intermediate. Be comfortable knitting and purling flat, changing between green and white within a row, and adding black details using duplicate stitch. Written colour changes are given for both sizes, and technique-help videos are linked.
Are the sheep sewn on separately?
The white sheep shapes are knitted into the blanket with colourwork. The black eyes, ears and feet are added afterwards using duplicate stitch.
Is this knitted in the round?
No. The circular needle holds the blanket’s width, but you work back and forth in rows.
Can I change the background colour?
Choose another shade that gives clear contrast with the white sheep and black details. Match the stated stockinette gauge and plan the equivalent yarn quantity before starting.
Does it include both sizes?
Yes. The PDF gives the smaller and larger version, with size-specific stitch counts and main-colour ball allowances.
