The first time we laid eyes on this Knitted Sheep Pillow Pattern, we put it down as Crochet! It so closely resembled the Bobble Stitch Crochet Sheep on our site.
When you view, you will understand our mistake! We are continually being asked for more Knitting Projects and the issue is that it seems there are a lot less to choose from than Crochet.

There’s a reason we were excited for our Knitters when we discovered that this cute pillow was in actual fact knitted!
