Isn't it cute?! I was inspired by a super adorable Sheep Hat in the book 60 Quick Baby Knits which I recently knit up for an upcoming baby shower:
The chochet-look stitch is called the Trinity Stitch, and it gives the sheep an awesome, puffy, sheepy look. I wanted to make a little matching sheep that I could add to a baby sweater to go with the hat. For the sweater, I chose a simple pattern (Striped Outfit for a Striped Knight, available on Ravelry) and knit it in colours to match the hat.
Here they are, hanging out like two sheep in a knitted meadow, lol:To knit my little Sheepy Applique, you'll need less than 50yds of a worsted weight yarn in white, less than half that in a dark grey and some scrap black yarn for the eyes. Also, size 7 (4.5mm) needles.
Download the pattern for free! Perfect for adding to a sweater, bag, hat or just about anything that could use a little sheepy cuteness. If you make my little Sheepy, I'd love to see it! Feel free to use it however you'd like, but please give credit where it's due with a mention and/or a link back to me. Thanks!
This is so cute! I'm looking forward to try it, thanks.
ReplyDeleteDarling!!! Been looking for a pattern for something like this, Thank you!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove this applique! What sweater pattern was used? They compliment each other very well. Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteHi! Thanks so much. The sweater was a pattern called "Striped Sweater for a Striped Knight", which I found on Ravelry, but is no longer available unfortunately. Really, though, it's just a basic top-down raglan sweater, with seed stitch hem and cuffs. It should be easy to find a similar sweater pattern on Ravelry or elsewhere online!
DeleteI've been looking for a sheep applique. Yours is soooooo cute!! Can't wait to try it. It looks darling on the little sweater.
