I used Kismet Raeesah cotton to design the pattern and then remade Chris using Kismet velvet yarn. For the velvet yarn sheep, I didn’t use the full bobble stitch; instead, I opted for a “DC2TOG Cluster” stitch. This prevented the sheep from becoming too bulky.
You can use any weight yarn for this crochet sheep pattern, as my designs are made to be flexible. This way, you don’t have to buy multiple patterns to make one animal or struggle to adjust a pattern to get it looking right.
