Toy Sheep

Introducing the adorable fat sheep knitting pattern, featuring floppy legs and a delightfully silly face – a fun project that's perfect for relaxation and incredibly cuddly! This charming sheep design is sure to bring joy to both creators and recipients alike.

Using novelty "bobble" yarn combined with 8 ply/DK yarn in any color of your choice, you can easily customize your fluffy friend's appearance. Feel free to experiment with different colors for the head, ears, and legs to create a whole flock of unique sheep! You will need almost 100 grams of "bobble" yarn along with 50 grams of a coordinating DK/8 ply yarn for the main body. Additionally, you’ll need less than 50 grams of a contrasting color DK/8 ply yarn for the ears and feet. For inspiration, as a fan of Mem Fox's beloved book "Where is the Green Sheep?", I crafted a special green version with slightly longer legs that you might like to replicate.

As a note of safety, please be aware that joggle eyes are not suitable for children aged 3 years or younger. We recommend using safety eyes or opting for an embroidered face instead to ensure your project is safe and kid-friendly.

Get ready to knit your very own fat sheep and enjoy the creative process while making this delightful addition to your collection of handmade toys. Perfect for gifting or keeping as a cuddly companion, this knitting pattern is just what you need to unleash your creativity and showcase your knitting skills!
