Wee Blackface Sheep (Version 2)
Meet Wee Blackface Sheep (affectionately known as Colin), a mischievous character who, during his younger days, spent countless hours in pursuit of delightful antics. Often, you'd find him devising elaborate schemes to escape his field, conducting cheeky raids on local washing lines, and adorning himself in the most charming outfits, all in preparation for his next great escapade! Colin's playful spirit is brought to life in this delightful knitting pattern.
Wee Blackface Sheep 2 is a charming knitting project that is constructed in the round using a 'bottom-up' method. This design allows for the arms and legs to be knit directly into the body as you progress, eliminating the need for any frustrating seams. You won’t need your darning needle for any pesky sewing tasks; it will only come into play to hide the occasional loose ends and to expertly graft Colin's wee head closed once your knitting adventure is complete.
The sample shown for this delightful pattern is knitted using 120 meters/100 grams of the exquisite Jamieson's of Shetland Marl in the stunning Shetland Black (101) and 120 meters/100 grams of the beautiful Jamieson's of Shetland Marl in Natural White (104). If you're looking for alternative yarn options, check out the fantastic selections available at Loveknitting, including the cozy Berroco Vintage Chunky or the budget-friendly Stylecraft Life Chunky.
Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just starting out, this adorable Wee Blackface Sheep pattern is sure to bring joy and creativity to your knitting journey. Don't miss the chance to create your very own Colin, who is sure to be a delightful companion for wear and play!
