Free Pattern: Chubby Sheep
I’m excited to share my first free pattern on the blog, Chubby Sheep.
This is one of the super secret projects I’ve been working on, in collaboration with Galler Yarns. The Galler Yarns blog has a growing collection of free patterns. They also have a Facebook page.

I made this using Flore II, an awesome blend of kid mohair, wool, and nylon. The kid mohair really makes the difference in the final texture.
Just in time for the holidays, the pattern also includes (optional) instructions to transform Chubby Sheep into an ornament or hanging decoration.
Exact gauge is not critical for this project but stitches should be small so that fiber filling doesn’t show. This project uses about 100 yards (91 m) in the main color and about 35 yards (32 m) in color b. You will also need a small amount of brown embroidery floss, a stitch marker, fiber filling, and a yarn needle.
This pattern was tested by aimeefae, anamoji, ayoung, and ss9904 on Ravelry. It takes about 5-6 hours to complete. Enjoy!
If you like the pattern, show me some love on the Chubby Sheep page in the Ravelry database

Very cute pattern. Any suggestions on how to add legs? THank you.
Welcome cableneedle, and thanks for stopping by. I would suggest crocheting four small legs, stuffing them, and then joining them to the body using a yarn needle, similar to how the head is attached to the body.
Oh my goodness … that little guy is pure perfection and a perfect tree ornament. I can also imagine adding this chubby sheep as a decoration on a holiday gift. Thanks so much for sharing the pattern!
Thanks so much, Evelyn! I think he would totally be fun gift wrap!
That is so cute. I think I prefer it without legs. Great pattern. I’m going to make this for my sheep mad sister.
Best Wishes

Welcome Primrose! I wish my sister was sheep-mad, instead of football themed bedspread-mad, because then I would already be finished with my holiday crafting!
Thankyou so much for this delightful pattern..
I have had so much fun making them for a church childrens program..
