Knitting pattern for a Child's Sheep Cardigan (ages 1 to 7 years) in self-striping yarn which gives the look of Fair Isle without all the hard work. The Sheep are knitted on the fronts of the jacket and this is a great pattern for trying your hand at intarsia knitting (picture knitting). The sheep are knitted in a chunky fluffy yarn to give a cuddly 3D affect.

The pattern uses 3 to 5 (dependant on size) 50 gram balls for the main colour in double knitting yarn DK/8 ply (11 wpi)
The sheep is knitted in Sirdar Snowflake Chunky and small amounts of Black Double Knitting Yarn for the Sheep faces and legs.
