Sheepish - original knitting pattern

"Sheepish" - an original knitting pattern.

Certainly not mutton dressed as lamb, this cute little sheep is just the thing for a weekend of crafting in Spring, or at any time of year.

Skill level: Intermediate, due to the shaping. If you can increase and decrease, you can make this sheep.
