Sheep in popcorn stitch

These sheep are just so cute. It would make a fun stress ball. Made these with 5 ply cotton yarn and a 3.5mm hook. You would need stuffing, and safety eyes and nose. You can also sew the eyes and nose, if you do not have safety eyes and nose. Will need more yarn for this project because you need 6 double crochet to make one popcorn stitch.

The tutorial video :

The body

1) make a magic ring, 6 single crochet (sc) into the ring (total 6)

2) chain 3, make 6 double crochet (dc) in one stitch, remove hook and place hook on the 5th loop of the dc and hook it to the chain that we removed and yarn over and pull thru all to make one popcorn. So in this row make 6 popcorn (one in each stitch), (total 6)

I sew the legs and the tail when I have completed row 10 of the body. You can also sew the tail and legs after you had completed the body. Sew the head first before attaching the ears. Lastly, make 3 more popcorn for the head. Chain 10, make 1st popcorn on the 4th stitch from hook. After that skip one and make another popcorn. Skip one and the 3rd popcorn. Sew it onto the top of the head.
