can be traced and then drawn on cardboard in exactly the same manner as Mary, or it may be drawn on white writing-paper, cut out carefully and pasted on black or colored cardboard. This last is perhaps the better plan as the white lamb will show more plainly on a colored background.

[Fig. 389] is the pattern for Master Lamb's coat, which you are to cut from a sheet of white cotton wadding, opened through the centre to give the wooliness of the raw cotton. A sheep's wool does not grow long on its legs, so you need not wonder that the lamb is not provided with leggings.
Paste the coat on the lamb's back and the little cap ([Fig. 390]) on top of his head and he will have all the clothing to which he is entitled. The dotted line below the lamb's ear shows how far the wool is to reach on his face, and that on the top of his head gives the limit for the edge of the cap.
