Show us your cuddly amigurumi sheep!

No matter if you’re still working on your sheep’s striped sweater or you’ve already added his little ears and tail, we’d love to see what you’ve been up to.

As you stitch your sheep together, here are a few tips to help guide you through the project:

If you want to end up with a tighter stitch, which is popular in amigurumi, consider using a smaller crochet hook than your yarn recommends.
A stitch marker can make keeping track of your stitches easier, but you might also want to keep a stitch counter—either a physical one or in an app—or a pen and paper to keep track of your rows.
If you’re not feeling super confident yet, try to make a few magic loops until you feel like you’ve gotten the hang of it.
Stuffing your amigurumi too much will stretch the stitches and not stuffing it enough will make it more likely to lose its shape over time so make sure to add the right amount.
