strong textThis sweet little sheep is just the perfect size to cuddle, and is so quick and easy to make you’ll have a house full of them in no time. But don’t be surprised if they end up being adopted quickly by friends and family!

The sheep is knit mostly in the round with jumbo/super bulky yarn and large needles. There are a couple more advanced techniques like Kitchener Stitch and Emily Oker’s Cast On (there are link to video tutorials). Other than those this pattern is easy for advanced beginners who know how to knit in the round and have basic increases and decreases covered.
