What does amigurumi means?
The word Amigurumi comes from Japanese. The Japanese call handicrafts knitted with crochet and needle as Ami. The Japanese call the toys that are filled with objects such as fibers or cotton as Nuigurumi. The word Amigurumi is derived as a combination of these two words.
Amigurumi knitting techniques are very easy. You can find many handcrafts prepared with these techniques on my site. What is Amigurumi for beginners in Amigurumi handwork? How to knit amigurumi?

Body
The body and head of the sheep are woven in one piece, fill in the legs as you crochet, I prefer to fill in the rest after crocheting the yarn, but you can fill in before if you prefer.
First leg:
With brown color thread:
Rnd 1. 6 ms in MR (6)
Rnd 2. (1 sc, 1 inc) x 3 (9)
Round 3-10. 9 sc (9) (8 rows)
Cut the thread leaving a small strand that you will lose later when you join the legs.
Second leg and body:
Crochet the second leg in the same way as the first, but before you crochet the last stitch, change it to cream or white. Then ch 3 and join it to the first leg.
Off-white or white in colour.
Rnd 11. (3 sc, 1 inc) x 6 (30)
Rnd 12. BLO (4 sc, 1 inc) x 6 (36)
Rnd 13. (5 sc, 1 inc) x 6 (42)
Rnd 14. BLO (6 sc, 1 inc) x 6 (48)
Rnd 15. (7 sc, 1 inc) x 6 (54)
Rnd 16. BLO 54 ms (54)
Round 17. 54 (54)
As you will see, the whole body is woven by inserting a round in BLO and another by taking the normal stitch, this to leave the FLO exposed where we will weave the wool.
Round 18-24. 54 sc (5) (7 rows)
BLO interlacing and normal rounds.
Rnd 25. (7 sc, 1 dec) x 6 (48)
Rnd 26. BLO 48 ms (48)
Rnd 27. (6 sc, 1 dism) x 6 (42)
Rnd 28. BLO 42 ms (42)
Rnd 29. (5 sc, 1 dism) x 6 (36)
Rnd 30. BLO 36 ms (36)
Rnd 31. (4 sc, 1 dism) x 6 (30)
Rnd 32. BLO 30 ms (30)
Round 33-36. 30 ms (30) (4 rows interleaved round normal and in BLO)
Rnd 37. (2 sc, 1 aum) x 10 (40)
Rnd 38. BLO 40ms (40)
Rnd 39. 40 ms (40)
From this round, continue with the sequence of a round by BLO and another normal except for the part where the face of the sheep will go, this part will be crocheted ALL the rounds by taking the normal stitch. Make sure the face is centered, if you need to crochet more or less stitches in BLO to get the face stitches centered, do that, all rounds have 40 stitches.Rnd 40. BLO 11 sc, 10 ms, BLO 19 ms (40)
Rnd 41. 40 ms (40)
Rnd 42. BLO 10ms, 12ms, BLO 18ms (40)
Rnd 43. 40 ms (40)
Place safety eyes between rnds 43 and 44 with 5 sc well centered.
Rnd 44. BLO 10ms, 12ms, BLO 18ms (40)
Rnd 45. 40ms (40)
Rnd 46. BLO 11ms, 10ms, BLO 19ms (40)
Rnd 47. 40 ms (40)
Rnd 48. BLO (8 sc, 1 dec) x 4 (36)
Rnd 49. (4 sc, 1 dec) x 6 (30)
Rnd 50. BLO (3 sc, 1 dec) x 6 (24)
Fill the body, it is much more comfortable to crochet the hair without it being filled, I recommend that you leave this part on hold and start crocheting the wool of the sheep which is explained on the next page.
Rnd 51. (2 sc, 1 dec) x 6 (18)
Rnd 52. BLO (1 sc, 1 dec) x 6 (12)
Rnd 53. 6 Sun (6)
Closing with needle by FLO cuts the yarn and hides the strand. She finishes weaving her hair.
Sheep’s wool
I recommend that you crochet the yarn when the body is not yet filled in, leave the body closure on hold, and start crocheting that part. Crochet cream yarn or whatever you want in the first FLO of round 12 that you left exposed, here you will start crocheting the wool of the sheep from right to left (if you are left handed in the you crochet normally) Hook: 5 ch , 1 sc in the next available BLF, take 5 ch again.
You will only vary the number of ch in the tail part, for this identify where you want it to be with stitch markers, only there you will crochet 12 ch, I crochet the tail on rounds 14 and 16 in just 5 FLO of the circles, that’s 10 times since I gave you 12 ml for the tail. When you get to the head, crochet: 8 ch, 1 sc in the next available FLO, pick up 8 ch. In this part we leave the face free, so there will be two times when you have to turn the sheep over to be able to weave. MAKE SURE TO MAKE ALL THE FLO, if your yarn runs out, no problem, you can add more then hide the yarns. You can also incorporate yarn of different colors, or weave larger warps to make the sheep fluffier, this part is fun because we can play with the pattern. When you’re done, cut the yarn and hide the excess strands. On the next page, some pictures;
Arm
Make two identical. With brown color wire:
Rnd 1. 6 ms in MR (6)
Rnd 2. (2 sc, 1 inc) x 2 (8)
Round 3-10. 8 sc (8) (8 rows)
Cut the thread leaving a long thread to sew to the body. Sew on the sides at turns 33 and 34. You can articulate the arms with galvanized wire, if you don’t articulate them, fill them in a little before sewing.
Nose
With cream colored yarn:
Rnd 1. 6 ms in MR (6)
Rnd 2. 6 increase (12)
Rnd 3. (1 sc, 1 inc) x 6 (18)
Round 4-5. 18 sc (18) (2 rows)
Cut the thread leaving a strand long enough to sew the arms to the body. Fill a little, sew this piece the 38 turns upwards. With black embroider the nose once sewn so that it is straight.
Ears
The ears are made up of two pieces, a pink piece and a white piece, you must have two of each.
First piece (make two identical)
With pink yarn:
Rnd 1. 6 ms in MR (6)
Rnd 2. 6 increase (12)
Cut the thread leaving a small strand that you will lose when joining this piece with the white piece.
Second piece (make two identical)
With white or bone color weave:
Rnd 1. 6 ms in MR (6)
Rnd 2. 6 increase (12)
Don’t cut the thread, it’s time to join the second piece to the first. Place the pink piece behind the white piece and crochet, taking the stitches from the white piece and the pink piece. You weave with bone or white yarn, hide the excess pink yarn as you crochet.
Rnd 3. (1 sc, 1 inc) x 6 (18)
Cut the thread leaving a long thread to sew the ears together. Fold the ear first and give a few stitches to shape them.
