“Arnaki” Greek for Lamb.

I’ve jumped on the bandwagon and designed a child’s beanie with an animal theme. In this case long ears, a lot like my Jefferson White Rabbit Amigurumi’s pattern, the texture in this beanie looks like a lamb ears. It’s just too cute.

This beanie is both practical and can be used in a professional photographers props arsenal. Instead of earflaps to keep little ears warm, the lamb ears easily can cover a child’s ears in winter weather.

The pattern is easy to follow with step by step directions and involves a variation to the crochet crunch stitch. Any beginner hooker can give this pattern a go.

This beanie can be modified by using thicker yarn and bigger hooks for an adult head size.

Enjoy, you’ll love the end result!
