Border Leicester Sheep are striking in their appearance with their large upright ears, making them a favourite in a sheep show ring. Show off your crochet skills by making your own smaller and cuddlier version, but still with those classic characteristic ears. This cute crochet animal project forms part of our Edward’s Menagerie collection and is a welcome member of the TOFT crochet sheep herd.
