Dolinka the Sheep


I was so proud of myself when I had a look at finished Dolinka so I have to share :)

The original pattern is called Dolly the sheep Amigurumi fluffy toy design by LittleOwlsHut and can be found for FREE on Ravelry (you have to have an account to access it but it is also for free ).

Pattern on its own is quite easy just the shaping the nostrils could be possibly tricky. However, if you follow pictures in the pattern you can make some sense of it :)

Notes to myself:

STUFFING - use some old cotton shirt previously shredded into approximately 1cm wide stripes. It's always a good idea to recycle something.

WOOLY TEXTURE - for wooly texture of the body use a hair brush with artificial boar hair and gently brush over the acrylic yarn until desire texture is achieved.

TAIL - crochet simply tail instead of using a button. It's more cute :)

HOOVES - Rnd1= in magic ring 6sc (6 sc); Rnd2= inc 2 in each sc (12 sc); Rnd 3-5= sc into each sc (12 sc); Rnd6=*dec, 2sc* reapeat 2 times more (9sc); continue with white yarn for legs=20x round of 9sc
