Why Mini Sheep Amigurumi Makes the Perfect Gift
This crochet sheep is so small and so cute, I can’t imagine a person who wouldn’t fall in love with its fluffy look. The toy is about 3” (7-8 cm) tall, which makes it just perfectly sized for a keychain or bag charm.
Whether you want to keep it for yourself or make a whole sheep herd to give away to your friends, kids or family, these cuddly buddies are sure to bring a smile to everyone’s face!
What You’ll Need to Crochet This Fluffy Friend
The pattern suggests using Garnstudio DROPS Puddel and DROPS Fabel yarns. The combination of fluffy yarn and wool fingering one will help you create the sheep’s iconic look.
The DROPS Puddel product line has been discontinued, but you can check out these great fluffy yarn alternatives – Alize Astrakhan, Garnstudio DROPS Alpaca Bouclé, or Bella Baby Parade Baby.
To bring this tiny sheep to life, you will also need two hook sizes (3.75 mm and 3.25 mm), 6 mm safety eyes, and some stuffing (fiberfill or yarn scraps).
How the Sheep Etu Amigurumi Pattern Works
The Sheep Etu is an ideal project for those who love unique amigurumi designs that bring a lot of fun. The pattern is easy to follow, which makes it suitable for various skill levels, including less-experienced crocheters.
The sheep is worked in continuous spiral rounds, starting with the body. Then, you will continue crocheting the rest of the elements that need to be sewn together at the very end. To be able to work you should know the most basic amigurumi stitches and techniques, such as magic ring, single crochet, increase, and decrease.
