Adorable fluffy sheep join the stable of wobbler fun! Knit in the round with a strand of wool yarn and a strand of boucle yarn held together, these little guys are weighted so that when you push them over, they pop right back up! See the last photo (a .gif) to see one in action!

Complete instructions are provided for knitting, installing the internal weight and felting in either a washer or a dryer. Fun for kids and adults!
