Dora the Sheep Free Crochet Pattern

November has finally arrived, Summer days are distant memories and Christmas does not seems so far away anymore.

I do not want to scare you, but are you aware it's only 50 days until Christmas??

It's time to start thinking about presents...especially if you like to gift your loved ones with handmade ones!

If you are looking for a sweet stuffed doll for a sweet little girl, look no further!

I have the perfect crochet pattern for you...an adorable pink sheep that would melt anyone's heart!

Dora is a 5.5" tall adorable sheep, made with a super soft acrylic yarn.

The body of the sheep is worked with bobble stitches, that give a nice and fun texture

to the doll.
