I think the name of this hat says it all! I love sheep! This stranded knitting hat was so much fun to knit! The hearts are made with only two strands of yarn, but alas, there are three rows of the sheep where you have to wrestle with three strands. Darn those sheep!

And…nobody faint, there are also charts, lovingly hand-drawn á la Barbara Walker, since my brain isn’t up to looking at a computer any longer than it has to!
