A4 PDF: materials, every round with a tick box, assembly and face

Free crochet sheep pattern: a Curly Cloud Sheep amigurumi, about 11 cm tall in DK yarn with a 2.5 mm hook. It is a round white sheep covered in curly bobble wool, with a small charcoal face, dark legs and ears, and a sleepy smile with closed eyes. You need about 170 m of yarn: 130 m white, 25 m charcoal, 10 m soft grey and 5 m pink. Plan on roughly 6 hours. It is a soft shelf friend or a cosy gift for sheep and cloud lovers. Turn the 3D model around to see every bobble, then follow the round-by-round pattern.

How to crochet the Curly Cloud Sheep

Advanced · 11 cm tall · about 6 h · DK yarn · 2.5 mm hook

  1. Crochet the 110 pieces in rounds: Body in sweater, Head, Face, Ear ×2, Front leg ×2, Leg ×2, Cheek ×2, Wool curl ×99 (76 rounds in all).
  2. Stuff and put it together in 9 steps; each one lights up where it goes on the 3D model.
  3. Add the face: safety eyes by round and stitch, or embroider them for a child under 3.

Every round with its stitch count is in the Pattern tab below, and in the free printable PDF.

Gauge

1 sc ≈ 4 mm wide, 1 round ≈ 3.6 mm tall (10 cm ≈ 25 sc × 28 rounds); yarn about 1.9 mm thick. The gauge sets the size of the toy; crochet tightly so the stuffing does not show.

Worked in

Continuous spiral rounds. Don't join. Move a stitch marker up every round.

  12. Size before assembly: about 6.5 cm at the widest, 4.1 cm long; 15 rounds.
  13. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff firmly just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done.

  21. Size before assembly: about 7.5 cm at the widest, 6.2 cm long; 25 rounds.
  22. → Start stuffing (firmly) and keep adding as you decrease.
  23. Top up the stuffing if needed. Fasten off leaving a 15 cm tail; with the needle weave it through the front loops of all 6 stitches of the last round, pull tight and hide the end inside.

  7. A flat oval about 6 × 4.4 cm; 6 rounds. Worked around a chain, so it is an oval: sew it on with its long side (along the chain) running side to side. The round-start marker is in the middle of a long side (the piece's centre line), while R1 starts at a turn: after R1 shift the round start — sc 2 more (not counted in any round) and place the marker there. The increases fall on the turns.
  8. With charcoal: ch 6.
  9. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff.

  6. Size before assembly: about 1.8 cm at the widest, 2.7 cm long; 8 rounds.
  7. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff it lightly — a thin layer, just enough to hold the walls apart: the ear about 10.8 mm thick, with thick rounded edges. Then shape it into a spoon: push the front wall toward the back wall — a concave spoon about 1.5 mm deep in front, a rounded back; about 18 mm wide. Keep the opening a curve, hollow side forward, not a straight line.<!-- (spoon 40 %) -->

  5. Size before assembly: about 1.3 cm at the widest, 2.7 cm long; 8 rounds.
  6. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff lightly just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done.

  9. Size before assembly: about 3.2 cm at the widest, 3 cm long; 10 rounds.
  10. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff firmly just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done.

  3. A flat circle about 1.5 cm across; 2 rounds.
  4. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff.

  3. Of these: on the head — 49 (20 pairs, left and right, and 9 single); on the body in sweater — 50 (23 pairs, left and right, and 4 single). A flat circle about 1.5 cm across; 2 rounds.
  4. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff.

The whole face is embroidered. Order: the eyes (black satin), then the white glints over them, then the nose and mouth, blush last. Mark the centres with pins first and compare with the picture. Bring thread ends out where a sewn-on piece will cover them, or bury them in the stuffing.

  • Embroidery in cream thread (on the face) (2, symmetric: the toy's left side is described, the right is its mirror image), straight stitches through: (in round 2, 4 st from the centre top line, toward the toy's left ) → (between rounds 2 and 3, 4.5 st from the centre top line, toward the toy's left ) → (between rounds 3 and 4, 5.5 st from the centre top line, toward the toy's left ) → (in round 4, 6.5 st from the centre top line, toward the toy's left ).
  • Embroidery in cream thread (on the face) (2, symmetric: the toy's left side is described, the right is its mirror image), straight stitches through: (between rounds 3 and 4, on the centre bottom line ) → (in round 3, 1 st from the centre bottom line, toward the toy's left ) → (between rounds 2 and 3, 1.5 st from the centre bottom line, toward the toy's left ).
  • Satin stitch (on the face): in nose pink thread, a oval about 7 mm wide and 5 mm tall, horizontal stitches; centred between rounds 1 and 2, on the centre bottom line.
