Wooliam The African Flower Sheep

**Meet Wooliam the Sheep – the fluffiest member of the crochet flock! ** Wooliam is a unique amigurumi sheep crochet pattern made using a creative mix of African Flower motifs and textured puff stitch motifs, which work together to create his wonderfully woolly sheep coat. The combination of motifs gives him beautiful texture and makes this project extra fun to crochet. If you love African Flower crochet patterns and adorable amigurumi animals, this design is sure to make your crochet heart feel shear joy! Whether you're making a handmade gift, adding to your amigurumi collection, or simply looking for your next project, Wooliam is ready to join your flock. ** Meet the rest of the flock!** Wooliam’s best friend Ewelizabeth is also available as a separate crochet pattern in my shop. Together they make a baaa-rilliant pair of woolly friends! **Material Requirements** The Sheep, that has been crocheted for this pattern, uses a mix of different brands of double knit yarn. Any brand of double-knit will work for this pattern. Grey- Pocket dk- 80g White- Emu yarns approx 90g Polyester toy stuffing Eyes 24mm (plastic safety eyes or glass looped eyes). This pattern would also work using fine/ sports/2 fine yarn. or aran/worsted/4 weight yarn but would be bigger. **Crochet Hook** 2.50mm **Size**
 Using this weight yarn and size hook will give you a sheep roughly measuring 38cm/ 14 inches measured from nose to bum 22cm/ 9 inches from side to side . 27cm/ 11 inches from feet to the top of the head. If you are planning to make your Sheep in a different weight yarn, adjust your hook size accordingly. Use the smallest hook size possible for the weight of yarn that you are using. You need the stitches tight so the stuffing doesn’t show too much between stitches.
I recommend making a test motif to gauge tension.
