This pattern looks great! Thanks so much for sharing it.
Realy cute, I gave it to my grandma and she was so happy!
Thank you for posting it for free.
What size yarn and hook?
Hi. Can someone clarify how the fleece is added. Struggling to make sense of doing alternate rounds with amigarumi, as the rounds are on a spiral. Are you supposed to do a row, fasten off, miss a row and then start again? How do they become a bobble. I can't make sense of instruction for the fleece. TIA
I also could not figure out the fleece. Mine does not look like the photos, but it is good enough, it’s a wavy coated sheep I guess haha
Hello! I just crocheted some bobbles along the sheep. I found that having about 6-8 loops on the hook when finishing a bobble gave me the best look. I ended up with around 10 rows and around 125 bobbles. I used the body piece basically as a grid to anchor my bobbles to, and tried to keep them to a 2x2 or 3x3 space for my preferred look.
Could I sell these if I make them?
I’m very sure you can do it, if you would like to do it it would be amazing for those who are struggling to make one,
