The inspiration for this pattern comes from the sheep that graze in the fields around Silverton. During spring-time I enjoy exploring the area around me and wandering through the fields of grazing sheep with their gorgeous new lambs! I wanted to recreate this beautiful view in a simple decorative homeware item.

A decorative garland featuring four 3D sheep spaced between five smaller ball shapes. All are worked in the round using DK yarn and the amigurumi technique.
