Baby Blanket ‘Wooly the Sheep’ – Knitting Instructions

Sleep child, sleep, there's a sheep out there... That's the first line of a well-known Dutch lullaby. I designed Wooly the friendly laughing sheep with this song in mind. Now it is ready to cover your (grand)child with all the love you knit into it, giving it cozy warmth and security.
The blanket is knitted with purl and knit stitches only and is easy to knit even for beginners. Have fun knitting it!
