Your crochet sheep will be worked in six different segments: head, ears, arms, legs, tail and body. Each segment will be sewn together during the assembly.

The body segments are worked in spiral rounds beginning with a magic ring. If you prefer not to use the magic ring, you can use this alternate method. You will use a variety of increasing and non-increasing rounds to achieve the desired shape.

Some decreases (sc2tog) are worked using the invisible method to reduce the size of the holes you will see. Please see special stitches for instructions on how to crochet the invisible decrease (sc2tog).

Use the instructions to crochet the tail to check your gauge (minute mark 14:15, video two). It should measure approximately 2.25″ wide (when laying flat) and 1.5″ long.

Your finished crochet sheep will measure approximately 13.5″ tall when seated; 20″ long when laying flat.
