To make this Sweet Little Lamb Blanket & Hat


Here's a little Granny Square Blanket I just made with a sweet little Lamb...
I made this baby blanket for one of my husbands clients who had a baby
girl about 3 months ago...it's super soft and comes with a matching hat...

To make the Hat
Size 3 to 6 months
Here is my basic Hat Pattern: with White Yarn & J Hook
