Weave your own cuddly sheep with this instant download sheep pin loom pattern. It comes 2 for 1! Yep, the instructions include the little 4″ tall sheep (cute as a Christmas Ornament) or the large 12″ tall sheep (soft and squishy as a pillow). They are constructed fairly similarly but there are differences due to scale. But don’t worry, they are super fun and easy to make.
Let’s take a closer look at each sheep, the differences and materials needed.
Small Sheep
- Regular sett pin looms. Squares in 1″ and 4″. Rectangle in 1″ x 2″.
- Worsted weight yarn (4) (pictured in acrylic)
- 3” length x 3” width x 4” height
- Body woven in Smocking Stitch Weave (included in pattern)
- Head and Legs woven in Plain Weave
Large Sheep
- Wide sett pin loom (Kayu Board). Squares in 4″, 5 1/2″, 10″. Triangles in 4″, 7″.
- Super Bulky Yarn (6) (pictured in Chenille)
- 10” length x 7” width x 12” height
- Body woven in either Bias Plain Weave or Bias Smocking Stitch Weave (included in pattern)
- Head and Legs woven in Bias Plain Weave
The photo above shows the body of the large sheep woven in bias weave in 2 different weave patterns. Left is the gorgeous textured Smocking Stitch Weave. Right is the smooth Plain Weave. Both are adorable and both are so soft you won’t want to put them down. You’ll want to hug them for days and days. And the kids will beg you to weave them a sheep of their own.
Smocking stitch is really easy to weave. It’s the stitch that has you weave (under 3, over 1) across the row. The “under 3” leaves floats on the squares creating a beautiful wooly texture. It’s easy to do both in traditional pin loom weaving and continuous bias weaving, too.
