Bibi the Blacknose Sheep is a detailed amigurumi project that captures the distinct look of the Valais Blacknose breed. This free pattern from Stella’s Yarn Universe is a great choice if you enjoy creating realistic animals. It includes specific features like embroidered eyelids, horns, and those iconic black leg markings. The finished sheep is quite small – about 2.8 inches tall. The perfect addition to a miniature farm collection or a desk display!
To get that signature fluffy look, you’ll hold a fingering weight yarn and a white boucle yarn together while crocheting the body and neck. The legs are worked directly onto the body to save some assembly time. However, you will still sew on the head, ears, horns, and tail to finish it off. If you don’t have boucle yarn on hand, you can swap it for faux fur or a standard worsted weight yarn. Keep in mind though that the boucle is what really gives it that thick, curly wool texture.
