US English pattern by Llama Lou Crochet. Includes step-by-step pictures.

Meet Mini Sherman; a sweet little sheep small enough to fit into the palms of your hand.

He can be made in any yarn and hook combination you want. Just be certain that the fabric is firm enough that stuffing does not show through. Mine is made using super-bulky chenille yarn for extra snuggles, but he is just as sweet in smooth-spun yarn.

Mini Sherman is an advanced beginner-level pattern. Skills you will need include single crochet, slip stitches, half-double crochet, double crochet, increases, decreases, color changes, working in the top and bottom of a foundation chain, crocheting through both layers to finish, joining pieces together, and some seaming. Included is a step-by-step tutorial on how to sew up the “criss-cross” style legs used in this design. The pattern is 9-pages long and has plenty of progress photos to help you along your way to making your own somewhat small sheep.

Stitches used: chain, slip stitch, magic ring, single crochet, increase, (invisible) decrease, half double crochet, double crochet, front loops only, starting an oval piece with a foundation chain, fastening off in the invisible way, mattress stitch
Measurement: 5" tall (12cm)
