Sleepy Sheepy pillow and blanket crib set is the perfect hand crocheted gift for baby or mothers-to-be!! The simplified design and pared down color palette lend a fresh, modern country inspired aesthetic, perfect for any nursery. But baby will love the cozy texture of the sheepy-pillow’s backside and those sweet, sleepy, eyes. This pattern is intended for intermediate level crochet experience and includes a colorwork practice tutorial for “carrying” your unused yarn colors through the stitches of your work, so both sides of your blanket look the same and color changes are seamless. Have fun and, as always ~ Crochet Something Beautiful!
