THANKFUL SALE! I’m very thankful for so many things, but especially for having the chance to explore my creativity through my knitting patterns. Thank you to each and every one of you who has bought a pattern! Here is a sale to celebrate, no codes required.

About the Pattern

Sheep are the source of the beautiful, luxurious wool that many knitters use to knit their creations. They can also be darned cute! The Counting Sheep Scarf has an entire herd of sheep along its length, in two different colors. Depending on the yarn you use, it can have white and black sheep, blue and yellow sheep, purple and green sheep, or whatever color combination you can imagine! If you’re counting, there are 55 sheep on each side of the scarf. The scarf also comes in handy for insomnia -- counting the sheep should put you right to sleep!

Double knit, the scarf is fully reversible, featuring opposite color schemes on each side. Full instructions are included for the double knitting technique. The finished length is approximately 60 inches (152 cm). The color work design is chart only, not written instructions.
