A Sheep for Shearing is not only a sweet and woolly
companion, but he also has an adorable function: his super
thick and bobbly fleece is removable, allowing kids to “shear”
him at will. At over a foot long from nose to tail, the sheep is a
wonderful pal for cuddling up to, using as a pillow, or dragging
along as a toy.

Pattern Notes
The sheep is worked in the round from the tip of the nose to the rump. The ears, tail, and legs are crocheted separately and sewn on, and the fleece is worked last.
Do not join rounds, work them continuously and use a stitch marker before the first stitch of every round to mark your place.
