Sheepish
A sweet sheep inspired cardigan that could be worn by a boy or a girl. This pattern offers simple sweater construction with just a little taste of intarsia work. It is worked in one piece from the bottom up with almost no seaming! Made out of a super soft merino wool, this cozy cardigan will be a must have piece for Fall and Winter.
