Eunice Ewe is sturdy enough to sit alone, and she’s so very cuddly - but that’s not all. She has the same dimensions of a very popular eighteen-inch doll (which has more than eight thousand knitted clothing patterns on Ravelry). You can select your favorites to make Eunice the best-dressed Ewe around.

This pattern assumes knowledge of basic knitting. You will need to know knit and purl stitches, how to cast on and bind off, and how to increase and decrease.

In addition, some intermediate techniques are used: I-cord, short rows, knitting in the round, the seaming of flat pieces, Magic Loop, and simple embroidery. Experience in knitting toys would be very helpful in making this pattern, but the detailed directions and photos I’ve supplied throughout the pattern should help if you’ve never made a stuffed animal before.

I recommend the site www.knittinghelp.com for instructional videos for all of the techniques mentioned above.
