Video tutorial (partial): Pumowa has a video tutorial for knitting most of the body of the sheep. The video states that it was created and distributed with permission from Hamanaka Co., Ltd. It does not contain the pattern instructions due to copyright and assumes you have the pattern to follow along, but may be helpful for understanding how to read Japanese knitting charts or trickier steps. pumowa’s YouTube tutorial of sheep body
