Having tested the patterns on Sian the Sheep, I feel confident to use my lovely alpaca yarn and try Benedict.

So clever these patterns. So much is standard yet they look different. I didn’t get adding the eyes/noses til last until I made my first - surely it would be easier to do it before the muzzle etc are added. In fact, leaving them til last ensures that everything is lined up, and your little man/woman gets her personality, which (and I’m not mad, honest) doesn’t become apparent until you are near the end.

I’m an amigurumi convert as a result of these patterns. So much so, that I’ve bought the next book :D
