Pink Sheep Wrist Warmers

Pink Sheep Wrist Warmers

You will need:

1 ball of pink double knit yarn.
Deep pink double knit yarn (to knit the sheep).
Knitting needles size 4.5 mm (US 7. US 7).
Black felt.
Template for the sheep’s head and legs. (This is included here).

Method:

Cast on 34 stitches.
Rows 1 — 12 rib (knit 2, purl 2).
Rows 13 — 40 stocking stitch (knit row, purl row).
Rows 41 — 45 garter stitch (knit stitches, no purl).
Bind off.

With right sides together fold the wrist warmer over and use yarn to stitch the side seam leaving a gap for the thumb. Do this by sewing 10cm (4 inches) from the bottom of the rib cuff up the side of the warmer. Leave a gap. Then sew 3cm (1 1/4 inches) from the top down.
Turn the wrist warmer right sides out.
Make two of these.

Make the sheep:

Cast on 16 stitches using deep pink yarn.
Knit 18 rows of garter stitch.
Row 19 – K1, K2tog across the row. K1. (You should now have 11 stitches).
Row 20 – K1, K2 tog across the row. K2tog. (7 stitches).
Bind off.
Fold in two and sew edges together with pink yarn to form the body of the sheep.
Cut out the head and legs using black felt.
Sew all the pieces of the sheep on to the top surface of the wrist warmer.
Repeat this process with the other wrist warmer to complete the set.
