Buttercup the Sheep
A lovable sheep that is knit in the round for minimal sewing! Measures about 6” tall to the top of the head. Two options, a stitch texture option or a fuzzy yarn option. Also included is a scarf pattern so your sheep can be sure to stay warm.
Measures about 6” (15.25 cm) tall to the top of the head (not including the ears) using worsted weight yarn and size US 6 (4 mm) needles but can be made bigger or smaller with a different yarn and/or needles.
Materials:
• Yarn: your choice of worsted weight (Colors: main body - approx 75 yds, face details <1 yd, scarf - approximately 22 yds)
• Small amount of toy stuffing
Tools:
• US Size 6 (4 mm) knitting needles…my preference is to use the magic loop method with circular needles but DPNs can also be used if that is your circular knitting method of choice.
• Removable Stitch Marker
• Yarn needle
I strive to write patterns that are straight forward and easily understood, however if you have any questions please let me know!
