Make an Adorable Crochet Shaggy Sheep — Free Pattern (3 mm hook, 17 cm)

Create a cuddly, fluffy Crochet Shaggy Sheep with this easy-to-follow amigurumi pattern. The shaggy coat is made using loop stitch to give a soft, textured finish — perfect as a handmade gift or a cozy decoration. The finished sheep measures about 17 cm (6.7 in) tall when sitting. Below you'll find a short materials list, tips, and the full step-by-step pattern.

Materials (as used in this pattern):

  • 3 mm crochet hook
  • Main yarn for fur (loop-stitch-friendly yarn)
  • Contrasting yarn for face/skin and a small amount of pink for the nose
  • Stuffing
  • Safety eyes (placed between R8 and R9 of the head) or embroidered eyes
  • Tapestry needle and scissors

Tips: Work the loop stitch throughout the body and hair sections unless a magic ring or regular stitches are specified. Stuff parts firmly where indicated and leave long yarn tails for sewing pieces together.

Don't cut the yarn when making the fur one since we are going to be joining it with the skin piece.

To assemble ear: place the skin piece facing the fur piece and aligning the stitches. Increase in the first stitch inserting the hook trough the stitches of both pieces, keep joining around 25 sc (always making sure you are inserting hook trough both pieces), increase one more time, make 1 sc and you'll finish with 28 sts. Cut the yarn leaving long end to sew to the head.
