We are excited to offer our next kit pre-order for the popular Sheep! pattern which was released in May 2016. Susan re-knit the sheep in our Home Fingering Weight instead of the original sport weight yarn. The only thing that changed is the needle size which is a recommended US size 2 for the kit.
Included in the kit is enough yarn to make all three sheep, the embroidery floss for the face and a tin of 20 colorful pear-shaped stitch markers.
If you already have the pattern be sure to select the kit option that does not include a copy. If you purchase a pattern with your kit, a Ravelry download code will be sent to you.
These adorable, distinctive sheep are worked completely seamlessly from the bottom-up on double-pointed needles (the pattern can be easily adapted for Magic Loop).
Finished measurements: Body length 3.5-inches, height 4-inches

For the Loopy Sheep! I’ve used the same loop stitch as Joanna Johnson did in her Timber Mittens (check out this fun pattern)! Joanna did a tutorial video on this stitch here:
