About this pattern
Cotton is a cream sheep with a dark brown face and ears, plus a red bow for the holidays. The pattern has six parts and only three colors, so the yarn shopping stays short. Make it for a nativity scene, a Christmas shelf or a farm-animal set. At about 5 inches, it fits in a small hand.
A handmade holiday gift that kids love, and at about 5.25 in (13 cm) tall it is small enough to make a few before Christmas.
