This little white sheep is knitted in the round, then felted in your washing machine. The body and top of legs are knitted with one strand of wool held together with one strand of textured yarn. I used Sirdar’s Snuggly Bubbly and it was a joy to work with! I love the bumps. However, if you want a furry sheep, you could substitute eyelash or a similarly textured yarn. The limbs are string jointed so they can move. I’ve used glass eyes, but you could embroider the eyes, instead. The 8-page pattern comes with directions for knitting, felting and assembling. I hope you enjoy! As always, please email me with any questions or concerns or just to say, “hi!”
