What knitter doesn’t dream of having their own sheep? These handknit friends are a wee bit easier to care for than a real herd. Choose stockinette or garter stitch for fleecy variety—and knit your own flock!

Knit tiny Wee Sheep in a fingering-weight yarn and larger Wee Sheep in a DK-weight yarn. Your handknit herd is sure to grow and grow.
