Frequently asked questions
Can this sheep be used as a keychain?
Yes. As a small pendant-style amigurumi it is well suited to a keychain or bag charm; attach a split ring or clasp to the top once the piece is finished.
What size hook works best for a mini amigurumi like this?
Mini amigurumi are usually worked with a hook one or two sizes smaller than the yarn label suggests, so the stitches stay tight and the stuffing does not show through.
