Sheep needlepoint patterns

Sheep: a black-faced ewe standing with her head turned to the front, a baby lamb, a ram with heavy ridged horns, a nursery lamb and a lamb by a lion.

The nursery lamb is drawn in several styles and the ram in two; the lamb by the lion lies between its front paws. All are four inches square on 18 mesh, and most can be made as a round ornament. A pale fleece on a pale ground can vanish, so choose a background with some color in it.
