With New Year comes new surprises. And here’s a surprise just for you! Sunshine Amigurumi’s first free pattern!

If you saw my post yesterday , it featured the Sunshine Amigurumi Cotton Candy Sheep in a stop motion animation. And now, you can make your very own Cotton Candy Sheep!

(Just a quick apology: I forgot to take step-by-step photos when I was making the sheep so please forgive the lack of photos. Sorry!)

Assembly
・Insert brads into face between 2nd and 3rd rounds
・Sew on the nose and mouth with the black thread. You may sew the mouth in any expression to give your sheep its own personality
・Sew on head and other limbs

Unfortunately, the only ‘work in progress’ picture I have is the one of the body, but I took close ups of the faces of the sheep so you can see where the facial features go

If you would like, you could also add cheeks (like Haru’s) or even some accessories like the flower on Haru’s head

To add cheeks: Sew light pink thread in a horizontal line just beneath the eyes

To add a flower:
Round 1: 5 sc in a Magic Circle (5)
Round 2: Sl st in next sc. In the same sc; *Ch 2, 2 Hdc, Ch 2. Sl st inside the circle* repeat around
Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing
Sew flower next to ear
