adding a thatched cotage, Fasten of all ends
postbox and lock of sheep to
your expanding collection.
You’ll notice that each sheep
looks a litle unique – the
three bodies are worked
slightly diferently and I’ve
sewn the heads on at diferent
angles to give them more
character too. Don’t forget,
the beauty of this crochet
series is that you can add your
own details to replicate your
own hometown… why not
incorporate other materials
such as felt, fabric, beads or
butons to go the extra mile?
Don’t forget to let us know
how you’re geting on!”
