In a flock of sheep, there’s always that one outlier, different from the rest, a rebel. This guy is pretty easy to spot, don’t you think?

This pillow pattern is a breeze to knit because it’s worked in one piece with the charted image in the centre of the panel. Just fold to size and sew up the sides. Add some cute buttons and you’re all done!

Recommended skill level: Intermediate. Skills include: cast on, knit and purl, knitting from a chart, intarsia knitting (with optional yarn bobbins), yarn overs and K2tog (for buttonholes), cast off, seaming.
