To go to sleep, count your blessings and some sheep !

This PDF Crochet Pattern will guide you to crochet a sheep tissue holder as shown in pictures, made using soft acrylic yarn (DK / 8 ply) and crochet hook J (6 mm).
The sheep works up quickly by crocheting it with 2 strands of yarn, held together. This will give a nice, thick and soft fabric to cover the package of tissues and for countless hours of cuddling !
