Crocheting The Crochet Little Sheep

Project Level

• Beginner/Intermediate: This pattern involves basic stitches, increases, decreases, and potentially working in rounds.

Finished Measurements

• Measurements might depend on the yarn and hook used but expect a small, palm-sized finished project.

Yarn Requirements

For a plush toy like a crochet sheep, using a soft, medium-weight yarn is advisable:

• Approximately 100 grams of a primary color (e.g., white for the body).
• Small amounts of contrasting colors for features (e.g., black or grey for the face or feet).

Suggested Yarn

• Alize Cotton Gold - A blend of cotton and acrylic that is soft and durable.
• Etrofil Jeans - Known for its softness and colorfastness, suitable for toys.

Suggested Hook

• 2.00 mm crochet hook - This is ideal for tight, small stitches that hold stuffing well.

Special Stitches

• Popcorn Stitch (Pc): Typically worked by making 5 double crochet stitches into the same stitch, dropping the loop from the hook, inserting the hook from front to back of the first double crochet, and pulling the dropped loop through.
• Increase (Inc): Make two stitches in the same place to increase the number of stitches.
• Decrease (Dec): Commonly made by combining two stitches into one, reducing stitch count.

Tools & Materials:

• Yarn: Alize Cotton Gold 62, Etrofil Jeans 008
• Hook: 2.00 mm crochet hook
• Others: Scissors, Needle, 6 mm safety eyes, Fiberfill, Tweezers
