Notes

Like how this design is similar to Shaun the Sheep.

Yarn confusion
Design states that one needs a white bulky, white worsted and black worsted.

Directions only state yarns by color for each section.
One assumes the body, legs and tail (white) are the bulky, with the head, feet, and ears the black worsted. It doesn’t say to hold the worsted double and one proceeds with the same hook. I don’t see where the white worsted is used.

I guess that not everyone reads the directions that closely…

In addition, I don’t know how anyone can work a bulky with the 3.75 mm hook.

My white bulky yarn is very comparable to the design one and I’m using a 6.6 mm hook to save my hands.

Used super bulky white and bulky black. Fortunately, the proportions worked out.

I made the ears bigger and two layers each.
Elected to make the legs all black.
