Flock of Sheep Throw

Introducing a beautifully cosy and unique blanket/throw featuring an adorable flock of sheep, including a charming black sheep. This delightful blanket is perfect for snuggling up on the sofa with your little one, making it an ideal addition to your home decor. Its whimsical design not only brings warmth but also serves as a stunning feature piece in any living space.

This throw is easy to knit in a simple stocking stitch, making it accessible even for beginner knitters. The pattern includes large, colorful intarsia charts to help you accurately create the sheep design. A moss stitch border is knitted as you go along, effectively preventing the edges from curling and ensuring a professional finish.

Two convenient sizes for the throw are included in the pattern:

• Small Throw measures 82 cm wide x 90 cm long (approximately 32 inches wide x 36 inches long)
• Large Throw measures 92 cm wide x 112 cm long (approximately 36 inches wide x 44 inches long)

The yarn required for this delightful project is Worsted/Aran (10 ply yarn). The pattern offers three different suggestions for yarn options, complete with links to suppliers, making it easy for you to choose the perfect materials for your knitting adventure.

To get started, you will need a single circular knitting needle of size 5 mm (UK6 – US8) that is 100 cm long. The blanket is knitted back and forth on the circular needle, allowing for a smooth knitting experience.

For best results, ensure your tension matches the recommended gauge of 18 stitches and 24 rows to 10 cm (4 inches) over stocking stitch. This will help you achieve the perfect fit and finish for your new sheep-themed blanket.

Whether you're looking for a playful accessory for your child's room or a cozy addition to your living area, this delightful sheep-themed throw is sure to become a cherished favorite. Start your knitting journey today and enjoy the warmth and charm this blanket will bring to your home!
