EXPLANATIONS

Color changes: insert the hook through the next stitch and pull the previous color along back through the stitch. You have now two loops on the hook, just like when you make a regular sc. Finish the sc by pulling the new color through the two loops on the hook. Tighten the loose ends and weave them in thoroughly.

Now we are going to make the bubble stitches. On the rounds where you work bs and sc alternating, be careful to ‘pop’ the bubble out to the right side of the work before tightening the single crochet, otherwise the stitches will create a bubble on the wrong side. Note that the order of the single crochet and the bubble stitches alternates on the next part of the work. On the rounds that end with a bs: this bs will become round when you begin making the sc on the next rnd.

Rnd 23: *1 bs, 1 sc* (54)

EAR

Color: 002, make 2

For the ears you will be making smaller bubble stitches. You will do this by working only 3

unfinished dc in one stitch. I call these bubble stitches ‘smallbs’.

Rnd 2: 1 sc in each st (6)

Rnd 3: inc x6 (12)

Rnd 13: *2 sc, dec* x6 (18)

Rnd 14: *1 smallbs, 1 sc* (18)

Rnd 15: *1 sc, dec* x6 (12)

Rnd 16: *1 smallbs, 1 sc* (12)

Fold the ear flat and sl st together. Cut off the yarn but be careful to leave a long tail for assembling.

ASSEMBLING

Head

The head must point downwards a little. It can be helpful to pin the head to the body first.

Sew through the stitches of the body and then through the head. And finally, stuff some extra fiberfill into the neck before closing it completely to avoid a wobbly head. Weave in ends thoroughly.

Ears

Attach the ears after 3 rounds of bubbles – seen from the front side – with 6 bubbles in between the ears. Weave in ends thoroughly.

Legs

Place the legs under the tummy. They should point outward a bit. Sew the legs on about 3 rows from the beginning of the body. Weave in ends thoroughly.

Arms

Sew the arms on approx. 1 round from top of the neck. Weave in ends thoroughly.

Rouge

To give Frida the Sheep pink cheeks, I have added a bit of regular makeup rouge.
