In this latest design from my Wee Blackface Sheep series, inspiration comes from the joy of Spring and the green fields bursting with carefree, bouncing lambs.

Size:
To fit size 0-6 (6-12) months

  • 8.5 (10) cm 31⁄4 (4)“ long
  • 5.5 (7) cm 21⁄4 (23⁄4)“ tall

Note: For size 6-12 months the designer used one 25 g of MC, with only a few cm to spare. As gauge can vary slightly and/or you may wish to increase the length of the foot. I have therefore recommended the purchase a second ball…just in case!

2 sets of 2.5 mm (US 11⁄2) (or size required to achieve gauge) ― circular or DPNs to work small diameter in the round
4 Stitch Markers (all different)
Waste yarn
Darning needle
Sewing thread to match CC.

over St st worked in the round.
For LC: 9 sts x 14 rows = 2.5 cm (1 ̋) over St st worked in the round.
