I often meet knitters who are terrified by the idea of learning to increase and decrease or shape their knitting but are desperate to make something cute and four-legged. Amigurumi seems like an impossibility without a bit of shaping skill. Not so with a pattern for the simplest sheep ever.
The Jo Sew and So has created a tutorial for simple Knitted Square Sheep. All you need to do is know how to knit and you can stitch a whole herd of woolly friends. You'll need to combine the basic ancient skills of cutting out and sewing too.
A knit, a snip and a sew and some stuffing and you have a sheep. An excellent way to instil creature confidence in a new knitter and an easy gift to make for folks who endlessly ask you to knit them something.
