Notes

Bobbles are fun….and this is a whole lotta big bobbles!

Feels like i’m knitting a life size sheep.

I am going to make 4 legs rather than 2 and am doing the legs before stuffing the sheep.
-- saving myself a world of hassle and CO 26 sts, magic loop for 5 inches, and attach onto 4 stitches at sheep body with 3 needle BO per leg.

Might not have needed the second skein of gray if i had only done 2 legs….but that just seems wrong. Had to break into the second hank for one blasted ear! Probably should have cut a half inch off each leg.

Took me a few tries to decipher the ears! Cast on and magic loop the first 4 rounds. THEN work back and forth as if you are on a straight - its pretty wonky at first but this will open the fold to make the ears cup in
