Hello! I want to say this is a lovely sheep!!! And thank you for the pattern!!! I need to ask you where can I get the special yarn from? I looked it online but it isn’t easy to find. Can you point me in the right direction please? Thanks!
Hi, I bought the yarn offline. Here are the links to official distributors:
Yarnart Dolce >>>> http://www.yarnart.info/dolce-p67.html
Alize Cotton Gold >>>> http://alize.gen.tr/index_en.php?is=qualities_detail&id=80
mooie patronen dankjewel
Hi Amber, yes, you can translate but please give a link to my website.
Hi Sarah, what do you mean? What outfit?
It doesn’t appear possible to print this pattern. I’ve tried selecting – nothing. I’ve tried right clicking – nothing. Is there a block on doing this. I’d rather work from a pattern than sit at the computer all the time. Thanks in advance.
Duh! Silly me. Thank you xxx

Hi, is there a substitute yarn we could use instead of yarnart dolce? Thank you!
Hi Emma, try this one http://www.loveknitting.com/sirdar-smudge It’s almost the same.
Any hints to assemble all the parts?
No hints 🙂 Just sew the parts on the appropriate places 🙂
Hi. I adore this pattern. Im abit confused though!! Isn’t the body and top of the head bobble stitch?? I cant see this in the instructions or does this wool look bobbly when you crochet with it as per pattern?? Super excited to start this project.
Hi Narelle, the yarn used for these toys looks bobbly. So, there is no bobble stitches in the pattern.
When do the colors change on the sheep? Are they done in sections?
When you crochet the head the color switching occurs when changing the yarn type (changing to Yarnart Dolce). Other details are made without color switching.
Hola gracias por el patrón, el cuerpo está tejido en el mismo punto que el cuerpo? Parece que está en p.a. muchas gracias
I don’t understand your question, Google can’t translate it correctly.
Hi bit confused the pattern states 2mm and 3.5mm hooks do you use 2mm hook on arms, legs, ears and front of head and it looks like two different yarns can you clear this up for me as I would have to order yarn from Internet
Hi, yes, you’re right. 2 mm hook for legs, ears and muzzle and 3.5 mm hook for another parts as they made with thicker yarn.
Thank you for this cute pattern, i have gone through the comments and i see some others have the same queries as me. Can you confirm what weight the yarn is? i would like to use yarn from my own personal stash. The arms and legs are they fingering weight or DK? as for the body this seems to be a super chunky – seems hard to use a 3.5mm hook with a super chunky – can you correct me if i have mis-understood?
Hi Michelle, please use 4ply yarn for legs, ears, muzzle and tail; and super chunky yarn for other parts. You can take 2.5 mm and 4.0 mm crochet hooks. In case of using bigger hooks you won’t get tight stitches.
Could I use something like Bernat Blanket yarn for the body, and Red Heart worsted for the face, legs, etc.? Do you think that would work?
Which kind of Red Heart worsted ?
Cutie and easy pattern
Is there a picture of what the tail looks like on? Thnks :0)
Hi Sophia, I added the picture of parts.
When you color change the yarn… do you also change the needle size? How is one able to use a 2.0mm hook with this yarn for the head, and the body… Thnks :0)
Hi Sophia, when changing the yarn you need also to change the hook.
Thnks… I was so excited to get started tht I missed that the info was
included in the instructions…lol
Hola! Quería preguntarle qué color utiliza (cotton gold) para las piernas y brazos? Gracias por su generosidad, es un modelo precioso! Saludos.
Hallo gibt es die tolle Anleitung bitte auch auf deutsch und zum ausdrucken bitte
What does the tail look like? So far it’s a flat circle.
Hi Louise, the tail is not flat. I added the photo of different parts, please have a look at it 🙂
Hi! Are you working continuously, without making slipstitch at the end of the row?
Yes, work in a spiral continuously.
You do not have how to make your magic rings. You do not have the amount of chains to make your magic rings. Love your sheep and duck patterns.
Hi Lisa, please watch the video-tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kc1OWrPqxuU
The body of this sheep & top of head look like a bobble stitch; but the pattern indicates only sc. Is the pattern written incorrectly?
Hi Karen, it’s not a bobble stitch, it’s a specific kind of yarn.
Hi, I have super chunky chenille yarn which is the equivalent of the one in the pattern but the bobble isn’t as big as it looks in the picture. Just wondering if a bigger hook will make the bobble bigger?
Hi Louise, yes, the bigger hook can help.
I love this sheep. It’s so adorable but I got the yarn and hooks as per your instructions and the sheep is coming out way smaller than what it looks like in your picture. Do you know how big the completed sheep should be? Just curious at this point. Thank you in advance!! Jill ❤️
Has anyone got any tips for crotchet with the thick yarn as I am unable to see the stitches. I am using the yarn suggested but I am having to guess where the stitches are? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you so much for sharing this fabulous pattern 💕
