Ram Pattern

Cam the Ram

I've never done this before, so here goes.  I saw a really cute ram on Pinterest, and I wanted to make it.  She said, 'Sorry, I didn't write the pattern down!' and that was the end of it.  Well, damn it, I'm figuring it out.  I don't think mine is as cute as hers....but it's cute enough.

I did the body and the ram horns in the colors of the college.  I am planning on doing another in the body and ram horn colors of the St. Louis Rams for a friend at work's boyfriend who's a big Rams fan.  But you can do whatever you want.

Including the horns, he's about 6 inches tall

Tail

I just did a chain of 6 and sc in 2nd ch from hook to the end (5)

Then sc back again (5) and attach to the butt

Sew the head and body together, I did the head a little forward angling down a little so that when it sat it looked a little more menacing.  Not sure if that turned out well or not.  But I tried.

Sew the arms and legs on where you think they look good.  I tried to do the arms towards the center more so it could sit up on them a little more.  I actually stitched the middle of the back of the arms to the stomach so they would stay straight.

Sew on the snout.  Embroider with a strand of black the nostrils and line down and the mouth.

The ears go more on the side of the head.  Sew the horns to the top of the head and I actually had to stitch them below the ear to the head to get the proper curl.

I just took white and sewed on a triangle and filled it in for the eyes and then just sewed on a little black for a pupil.  You could do felt and glue it on or put in safety eyes before you stuff and close up the head.

Please feel free to let me know if you find any errors!  I'm completely open to feedback!  I was just kind of winging it! Keeping this on here is more of a help for me to do this pattern again and not have to go through all my scrap paper notes.

This is a compilation and modification of 5 free patterns of other amigurumi and they're not copied, but they were used as reference.

But I used a Bear Ornament from Red Heart, Lil' Baby Unicorn from Little Yarn friends, Stuffed Kitten by Mary Walker, Horns by MyGurumi, and Chibi Cow by Marika Allely as my reference points.

So since I gave credit where credit is due, I don't care what you do with this Ram when it's done or if you share it, sell it.  Just don't take credit for the work that I put into putting the pattern together and the modification work that I did to get it to this point.  Thanks!
