I said, "Baaaa!"

Finally, I think I have gotten the pattern close to what it should be! Enjoy!

Sheep

I used an F hook, but you can use whichever size you prefer. The yarn I used were of 2 kinds: my preferred one was Red Heart Baby Clouds white (bulk of 6) and the second one when I couldn’t find the Baby Clouds again was Yarn Bee (with a bulk of 5). The Bee one seemed to fray a lot more than the Baby Clouds, and the Baby Clouds was a little “fluffier,” giving it the kind of sheepy woolly kind of look I liked. So if you can find the Baby Clouds one, I’d recommend that. I also used a slightly less bulkier yarn, a Bernat baby-blanket type yarn that I thought was good too, but this pattern has been tried and tried again by me with the other 2 mentioned kinds of yarn.

Use a marker to keep track of your rounds, especially when it comes to the bulky kind. It’s very easy to lose track since it is so bulky—particularly if it is your first time to use something like this (which it was mine, when I first started working on this pattern). 

This pattern was difficult to write simply because of the bulk; I know I made errors very easily and so if you find any, let me know. If you are a beginner trying this, I would recommend eyeballing it every few rounds to see how you are doing; don’t take my pattern straight off the page. J

For clarification, when I have a (x#) in a line, that means that you repeat that row however many times. For example, if it is sc around (x12), you’d have 12 rows of sc around.

On the picture below, the sheep on the left is using the Yarn Bee type of yarn (bulk 5) and on the right is the Baby Clouds yarn (bulk of 6). The Bee is slightly off-white while the Clouds seems more "pure" white. Only a subtle difference that you could tell if they were side-by-side in front of you.

I will probably be altering this pattern in the future, as I originally wanted him to "slouch" a little. The ladies at work said that he was fine just like he is, but you can see how his neck is tapered like a bottle. Not sure I like that. I like the hunched over "apologetic" kind of look you can see in my first post/pictures of him in the blue yarn I first tried.

EYES

MR – 6

Leave a tail and tie off. Attach your eyes to it and then sew it on. When I sew on the eyes I use a simple whip stitch around the outer part of the eye, so that the stitches don't actually show on the head.
