Additionally, a small amount of black double knitting yarn is necessary for the sheep's features. You'll also need 1 ball of King Cole Cuddles Chunky yarn or a similar fluffy yarn to add that extra touch of softness.

Don't forget that you will require 3/4 small buttons for the front closure of the hoodie, with the exact number depending on the size chosen.

The tension for this pattern is 22 stitches and 28 rows over 10cm (4 inches) using 4 mm needles (UK8 - USA6) while working in stocking stitch. This gauge ensures your finished product will fit perfectly and keep your little one warm and stylish.
