UPDATE! All-knit and all-crochet versions out now! All three are included in this pattern. So you can choose to use only knitting techniques, only crochet techniques, or the best of both worlds!

If you already purchased, make sure to download the pattern update to see all three. Thank you!

Tennyson the Sheep is a small bag charm/keychain
worked using both knitting and crochet
techniques. He is knit/crocheted in pieces
and seamed together. You will sew up the body and then sew the curls, head, legs, and loop to the body before closing up the base. Ends are used as stuffing, so there isn’t too much weaving in of ends on this one. The pattern includes both photo and video tutorials to help guide you through construction and assembly.

Crochet techniques:
-Single crochet +increases/decreases
-Working flat and in the round
-Magic loop
-Slip stitches
-Chaining

Yarn:
Fingering weight yarn in two colors

hanging loop)

Recommended yarn is
Sonder Yarn Co Sunday Morning 4-Ply.

Yardage Requirements:
-Color A: 240 yards

-Scraps of laceweight yarn in white and

weight yarn or fingering +
mohair/suri. You’ll need 120 yards of

An extra 10% is added to yardage requirement to account for swatching and a little extra just incase!
