Meet Simon the Sheep

This is Simon the Sheep… a little crocheted friend for my little boy. I had originally intended to crochet a black sheep, as Baa Baa Black Sheep is his favourite nursery rhyme, however I’m only a novice crocheter and using black wool was just too difficult to see the stitches!

The pattern is from a book called Edward’s Menagerie. It’s one that I’ve been meaning to have a go at for AGES but my lack of crochet skills has made me hesitate I suppose. I’ve never been a massive fan of crochet, but I loved making Simon and I’m definitely going to make other animals from the book. My husband requested one some time ago, so I should aim to do another this year.
