Notes

Cuuuute! And fun to make, though a little too much sewing for my taste.

I did the body+legs as given, but improvised the head in the round - casted on 6 stitches with a figure-8-cast-on as for toe-up socks, increased to 14 stitches, did some plain rows, decreased again. Used a crochet hook and directly attached the ears (chained 5 and slip stitched back). Used the thread and pulled it through remaining 3 stitches.

Thought it needed a tail, did it with the ends from - pulled it through at the end and did the crochet slip stitched version as for the ears….

Messed up the first coat (the one from the Sindbad yarn) and did not have the garter bands at the head opening- well,ok… Also like the face better with the second sheep (Mähbel, with the Fabel coat…)
