Recommendations

When working in the round a stitch marker is always very
useful. With this pattern it is a necessity. I am using one
that I can move as I finish each row up to the next one to
keep my count because the stitches look so different in
the sheep body than in a standard ami body.

Bobble stitches are done in a pattern of SC and bobble,
the bobble leaves a long V at the top of the stitch and a
SC leaves a smaller neater V at the top. There are some
rounds where you’re not going back and forth SC and
bobble.
