Closing & Stuffing the Body
Round 15:repeat 6 times. (12 sts)
Stuffing: Pause here to stuff the body firmly with polyester fiberfill. Push the stuffing gently against the inside of the pink bobbles so the paws pop outward prominently, and ensure the base remains flat.
Finishing the Top:
Cut the yarn, leaving a 20 cm tail, and pull it through the last loop.
Thread the tail onto a yarn needle.
Weave the needle through the front loops of all 12 remaining stitches.
Pull tightly like a drawstring to close the hole completely.
Knot securely, insert the needle into the center of the closure, and bring it out through the back of the body. Trim the excess yarn.
Adding Collar & Details
Neck Collar: With pink chenille yarn, chain approximately 16 to 18 stitches (long enough to wrap around the neck area just above the upper paws). Slip stitch in each chain across, fasten off, and sew the collar ends around the neck. Attach a small pink jingle bell to the center of the collar.
Head & Fleece (if assembling full doll):
Sew the prepared sheep head securely to the top of the body above the collar.
Make sure the face points forward directly centered between the two upper paws.
Cheek Blush: Using a soft brush or cotton swab, lightly apply pink blush beneath the eyes and across the cheeks for a sweet, warm expression.Â
