A fun, slightly unconventional and quick project. The body is put together from wound wool, which is what makes it so quick! Ideal project for your first ball of own-spun wool so you can show it off rather than hide it away.

Full instructions for the creation of your sheepie are included.

Pattern written in US terms. Stitches used are single crochet, increases, decreases and a magic circle.

You’ll need a crochet hook and about 11 meters of worsted weight wool for the head and limbs plus about 28 meters for the body. A wool needle, stuffing, some colourful yarn for the face features and optional safety eyes.

I do not recommend this as a child’s toy due to the wound wool main body.
