Materials and Uses
Materials You Need:
-
Yarn/Thread: White (for the body/head), skin color (for the face/legs), and red (for the bow/ribbon). You use a thin strand of black thread for embroidery.
-
Hook: A 2.5 mm crochet hook, chosen to match the thickness of your material.
-
Embellishments: A small sequin or crystal (optional, to replace the embroidered eye).
-
Tools: Fiberfill stuffing, a tapestry needle, and silicone glue for assembly.
Uses:
-
You create a small, adorable sheep doll.
-
The finished project is ideal for use as a keychain or a souvenir gift.
-
You make a symbol of abundance, often gifted around the Christmas and New Year period.
Special Features and Difficulty
Special Features:
-
Curly Texture: You utilize a unique technique of working the white yarn for the body and head into the Back Loop Only (BLO). This leaves a free loop on the outside of the piece. You later use these free loops to crochet small chain loops, creating the sheep's characteristic curly fleece.
-
Color Changes: You seamlessly integrate the skin color for the face into the main body piece, forming the head and body as a single continuous piece of work.
-
Facial Details: You achieve a joyful, happy expression by strategically positioning the embroidered mouth and eyes, which you can either embroider or replace with small sequins.
-
Freestanding Design: The placement of the legs allows the finished sheep to stand up on its own.
Tutor's Suggestions:
-
Stitch Tension: When working the white yarn into the back loop, the tutor advises against decreasing normally; instead, you skip one stitch to perform the decrease. However, for the skin color (working the full stitch), you perform normal decreases.
-
Head/Body Separation: In Round 10, you switch to working the full stitch (not BLO) to create a distinct, less-fluffy ridge for the neck where the red ribbon sits, separating the head and body.
-
Stuffing: Stuff the body first, then the lower part of the head, and finish the stuffing when you are about to close the head. Do not overstuff the head until the final rows to make the decreases easier.
-
Ear Placement: Position the ears diagonally and facing downwards, not straight up, to ensure the sheep looks like a sheep and not a monkey.

Final Tip
Do not pull the stitches of the embroidered face too tightly. If you embroider the eyes, make sure the loops are slightly loose to give the eyes a bit of dimension and help achieve the sheep's soft, endearing expression.
