Introduction

Make the sweetest market-day sheep: a cream lamb with soft textured head curls, smooth limbs, black safety eyes, a tiny embroidered smile, a striped yellow-and-cream boatneck tee, an olive pinafore with scalloped hem and slim straps, an olive beret, cream espadrilles with olive ankle straps, and a net market bag holding a carrot and a radish.

Please note: I strive for accuracy in every pattern, but occasional errors can happen. Thank you for understanding and for enjoying my designs.

Face embroidery: With black, embroider a tiny “Y” nose and short smile centered 1 rnd below the eye line.

Surface curls (top & sides only): With Cream, attach at Rnd 8 near the crown. Work scattered (sl st, ch 3, 3 dc in same base st, sl st next st) to create small bobble curls across the top and a little down the sides, avoiding the face around the eyes and muzzle area. Keep density like the photo—crown and temple areas plush, cheeks smooth.

DRESSING & FINAL STYLING

1. Put on the striped tee first; join back opening with a small snap or a few tacks at the neckline.
2. Slide the pinafore up; straps cross at the back and secure to waistband 12 sts apart. Ensure scalloped hem sits evenly just below the knees.
3. Fit the espadrilles; cross the olive ankle strap and tack close.
4. Place the beret slightly tilted to the right.
5. Hang the net bag from the right hand; stitch a tiny tack inside the palm so it stays. Insert carrot and radish so they peek out visibly.

Care & Safety

• For children under 3, embroider eyes instead of safety eyes.
• Secure all small parts (vegetables, straps) with strong tacks if gifting.
• Spot clean only; reshape beret and scallops while damp.
