This is my first ever attempt to crochet an amigurumi anything. And I've decided to make a sheep after going through several tutorials on youtube and finding that the sheep is the best looking so far. As always, you will find the links to the videos below.
I have also found the site where it is explained step by step how to crochet the sheep. Unfortunately, it is in Spanish. And the trouble is that you may not get it right when translating the instruction through google - it translates word for word and makes no sense as a result. Sigh...
Yup, it took me a while to sort out the instruction and a bit of ripping (takes a lot of courage to pull that thread) but looking at what I have made so far I think I go it right.
Step 1: the body.
The body is a ball made using popcorn stitch. The rule is that every next round has four popcorns more than the previous one. And the additional popcorn stitches must be placed in between the popcorns from the earlier round. If you look at the picture you probably notice straight away that it's not exactly round. Obviously, your popcorns have to be evenly stitched to create an even ball and it takes a bit of experience to avoid stitches being too tight or too loose. Don't worry though, after filling the ball it will become much more shapely :)
To be continued...
