This sweater knitting pattern features a trio of cute sheep in sizes up to 2 years. Following the success of the patterns for the Sheep in the bigger child sizes, I now have a baby Sheep Sweater and Hat set.
There is a large, coloured intarsia chart to follow for the Sheep and colour coding for the different sizes.
The background is knitted in Aran/Worsted (10 ply) Yarn so grows very quickly. Any Aran yarn can be used so long as it gives the same tension as 18 sts and 24 rows to 10 cm (4 inches) over stocking stitch using 5mm needles.
The Sheep are knitted in a fluffy white yarn with a small amount of Black yarn required for the Sheep's legs and head.
Needles: 1 pair of 5 mm (UK6 - USA8) and 1 pair of 4 mm (UK8 - USA6)
The pattern includes a cute hat with a sheep knitted on the front.

I first started to design clothes for my children when they were younger and went on to sell garments through shops and craft fairs. I also taught the use of machine knitting and knitwear design. I later followed a career in IT, but I now have grandchildren and whilst hand knitting for them was inspired to start designing and creating knitting patterns again.
