DECREASE TIP: Dec 1 dc by working 2 dc tog as follows: * Insert hook in next dc, get yarn *, repeat from *-* one more time, make 1 YO and pull yarn through all 3 sts on hook. LOOP STS: Work as follows: * Pull out some yarn with your left finger, insert hook through st, get the yarn behind the finger and pull it through the st, there are now 2 sts on hook and a loop on your finger. Pull yarn end to make loop the right size. Get yarn end and pull it through both sts on hook the regular way *, repeat from *-*. MAGIC CIRCLE: When piece is worked in the round, start with this technique to avoid holes in the middle (instead of ch-ring): Hold the yarn end and wind the yarn one time around the index finger to make a loop. Hold the loop with left thumb and middle finger, place the yarn over left index finger. Insert hook through the loop, make a YO and pull yarn through loop, work 1 ch, then work dc around the loop. When the desired no of dc have been reached, pull the yarn end to tighten the loop. ---------------------------------------------------------SHEEP: Piece is worked from bottom up, work from inside of piece so that loop sts are on the outside of piece. Work a base to be under the sheep, fasten this to the sheep when finished. BODY AND HEAD: Work 50 ch with off white Merino Extra Fine on hook size 3.5 mm. Form a ring with 1 sl st in first ch. ROUND 1: READ CROCHET INFO! Work 1 dc in every dc the entire round. ROUND 2: Work LOOP STS - read explanation above, in all dc on round = 50 loop sts. ROUND 3-12: Work as 2nd round. ROUND 13: Work 1 loop st in first st, * skip 1 st, work 1 loop st in next st *, repeat from *-* the entire round = 25 loop sts. ROUND 14: Work loop sts in every loop st on round = 25 loop sts. ROUND 15: * Work 1 loop st in each of the first 3 sts, skip 1 st, work 1 loop st in each of the next 2 sts, skip 1 st *, repeat from *-* 2 more times and finish with 1 loop st in each of the last 4 sts = 19 loop sts. ROUND 16: Work loop sts in every loop st on round = 19 loop sts. Now work back and forth to make neck on sheep. ROW 17: (= inside) Work 12 loop sts from where previous round ended, turn piece. ROW 18: (= outside) Work 12 loop sts. Place loops towards you so that loops are on the outside. Or work as before and pull loops on to outside with a crochet hook afterwards. Turn piece. ROW 19: (= inside) Work 12 loop sts, turn piece. ROW 20: (= outside) Work 12 loop sts. Place loops towards you so that loops are on the outside. Or work as before and pull loops on to outside with a crochet hook afterwards. Turn piece. ROW 21: (= inside) Work 12 loop sts, turn piece. ROW 22: (= outside) Work 1 loop st in first st, * skip 1 st, work 1 loop st in next st *, repeat from *-* the entire row = 6 loop sts. Fasten off. Now work in the round to make the head on sheep. Continue to work with off white from inside, beg on left side of neck. ROUND 23: * Work loop sts in the side of loop sts worked back and forth on neck (= 6 loop sts) *. Work 1 sl st in each of the loop sts at the front of neck (= 7 sl sts). Repeat from *-* up along the other side of neck and finish with 1 loop st in each of the 6 loop sts from 22ND ROUND = 25 sts around the head. ROUND 24: Work loop sts in all loop sts and sl sts in all sl sts the entire round. ROUND 25-26: Work loop sts in all sts on round = 25 loop sts. Now work the snout with dc as follows: ROUND 27: READ DECREASE TIP! Work 1 dc in each of the next 4 dc, dec 1 dc, work 1 dc in each of the next 7 dc, dec 1 dc, work 1 dc in each of the next 10 dc = 23 dc on round. ROUND 28-30: Work 1 dc in every dc the entire round. ROUND 31: Work 1 dc in each of the next 4 dc, dec 1 dc, work 5 dc, dec 1 dc, work 1 dc in each of the next 10 dc = 21 dc on round. ROUND 32: * Work 1 dc in each of the next 3 dc, dec 1 dc *, repeat from *-* 3 more times, work 1 in last dc = 17 dc. ROUND 33: Work 1 dc in every dc the entire round. ROUND 34: * Work 1 dc in each of the next 3 dc, dec 1 dc *, repeat from *-* 2 more times and finish with 1 dc in each of the last 2 dc = 14 dc. ROUND 35: Work dc tog 2 by 2 the entire round = 7 dc. ROUND 36: Work 1 dc in every dc the entire round. Cut the yarn, baste it around the opening and the front on snout and tighten tog. Fasten the strand and embroider eyes, nose and mouth with black.

ROUND 1: Beg by making a MAGIC CIRCLE see explanation above, with 6 dc in circle. ROUND 2: Work 2 dc in every dc the entire round = 12 dc. ROUND 3: * Work 1 dc in next dc, 2 dc in next dc *, repeat from *-* the entire round = 18 dc.

ROUND 5: * Work 1 dc in each of the next 3 dc, then 2 dc in next dc *, repeat from *-* the entire round = 30 dc. ROUND 6: * Work 1 dc in each of the next 4 dc, then 2 dc in next dc *, repeat from *-* the entire round = 36 dc. ROUND 7: * Work 1 dc in each of the next 5 dc, then 2 dc in next dc *, repeat from *-* the entire round = 42 dc. ROUND 8: * Work 1 dc in each of the next 6 dc, then 2 dc in next dc *, repeat from *-* the entire round = 48 dc. ROUND 9: Work 1 dc in every dc while AT THE SAME TIME inc 2 sts on round = 50 dc. Fill the sheep with some cotton wool. Place the base under the sheep. Work parts tog with sl sts through dc from the base and ch on underside of sheep. Fasten off. If the base is too small, you can continue to inc evenly the same way as before after 8th round, but then you must sew the base on the underside. EAR: Work 4 ch on hook size 3.5 mm with off white and form a ring with 1 sl st in first ch. Work 3 ch and 13 tr in ch-ring, finish with 1 sl st in 3rd ch from beg of round. Embroider small sts inside the ear with pink. Fasten strands and fasten ear on the side of head. Work another ear the same way. LAWN: Work 66 ch on hook size 5 mm double strand olive Big Merino, turn piece. Work 1 dc in every dc the entire row. READ LOOP STS! Then work loop sts back and forth. NOTE! Make sure to place the loops towards the same side the entire way. Or work as before and pull loops on to one side with a crochet hook afterwards.
