What you need to know

Val Pierce has done it again with this sheep knitting pattern – a cuddly toy we can’t wait to bring to life.

Our handsome four-legged friend is a Valais Blacknose and if you haven’t seen one before, we can only describe them as a bundle of teddy bear-like sheepy adorability. Their cuddly fleeces and sweet faces will melt any heart and designer Val has captured them perfectly. Watch your stitch counts when working with the bouclé yarn as the texture means it can be tricky to spot any mistakes.
