About this pattern

A sheep standing side on and facing left, with its head turned to look straight at you. The white fleece is built of round lobes like a cloud, with pale gray shade along the underside and down the right, and a small round tail. The face is dark gray with two dark eyes, each with a white glint, a dark nose, an ear out to each side and a fringe of white wool on top of the head. Four thin dark legs stand on a level strip of grass in two greens. A dark brown outline runs round the sheep. Full crosses only. It is 49 by 30 stitches and uses six thread colors.

49 stitches wide by 30 high: 862 full cross stitches in 6 DMC colors (Winter White 3865, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Dark Pewter Gray 413 and 3 more).
