Baby Sheep Free Pattern

Usually I don't write down pattern or record what I have done for my amigurumi,
some of my friends asked me if I can give the pattern to them...
I never learn how to write a crochet pattern so it's a tough mission for me...

So, this is for you all, my first written pattern
I hope they will work out well :)

Assembly:

- Stuff the head with fiberfill (I stuffed more fiberfill in the head to make some weight)
- Sew the face on the head
- Stuff just enough fiberfill into the tummy (leave the neck, we don't need any filling here, this is how we make it look "sleepy" :))
- Stuff just a little to the arms and foot, leave the opening free of filling
- Do not stuff the ears, sew them to the head
- Sew all the arms and foot on the body
- and Finally, attach the head to the body

TA-DAA!! :D

Welcome!!

This is my first blog that talks about my crafts.
My name is Haruki, from Toronto, Canada.

Here's my little amigurumi story...

I first discovered about amigurumi back in 2007, when I was learning Japanese clay art at a community center.
"omg they're sooooooooo cute!!!! I gotta learn how to make them!!!!"
but the classes are only available on weekdays and I have school...so I couldn't take the amigurumi class.
therefore, I search on the web and try to find if there are any websites that teach how to crochet.
Yeshhhh found one, with graphics!...maybe I'm kinda slow on managing the yarn...after 30 mins of "learning" I don't even know what I'm doing! >_<>0<" We bought some books and she taught me the basis and start making amigurumi!! What happened at the end?! I bought a little sofa for my babies and now all packed I'll need another one to fit them all! :D

I started to make amigurumi as gifts to others, I'm glad that they loved it :)
I opened a store and joining groups on flickr and setting up this blog to meet other people like YOU, who also enjoy making crafts so much!! :D
