Notes
Shaun the Sheep bag charm. Yarn: Susu 4-ply cotton (white 06 + black 21), 2.0mm hook. The ch-5 loop rounds worked into reserved front loops create the fleece texture on head and body.
Frequently asked questions
How is the woolly texture made?
The body alternates normal and back-loop-only rounds, then ch-5 loops are worked into every reserved front loop — the loops become the fleece.
What order should I assemble?
Stuff and close head and body, sew them together, then add ears, arms and legs (each ends with a ch-10 tail for sewing).
