Crochet Bobble Stitch Sheep Square

July 9, 2015

After finishing my Bobble Stitch Blanket, I started getting ideas of other projects I could do with the bobble stitch. The bobbles reminded me of sheep wool and so the idea of a sheep granny square was born! Little did I know this small project would require so much math. I swear I mapped out that grid dozens of times.

Finally I think I have it right! Each square in the graph equals one single crochet with exception to the “o”… those represent the places where you will make the bobbles. You can also see where you need to make the color changes. Feel free to back the background any color you want (I chose green).
Here is a video tutorial on how to make a bobble:

Finished sheep square with border measures approximately 10.5×10.5
Materials:
-Size H Crochet Hook
-Worsted weight yarn. I used Lion Brand Vanna’s choose in white, charcoal grey, and fern.
-Tapestry needle
Abbreviations:
SC = Single Crochet
DC = Double Crochet

SC around edges with green.
To make picket fence border:
Row 1: SC with green, Spike Stitch with white around endure edge making SC + chain 2 in each corner with just green
Row 2: Alternate DC in green and white matching up color to the spike stitches in previous row. Make DC + chain 1 + DC with just green in each corner.
slip stitch along bottom edge with white and slip stitch again right under the spike stitches all the way around to finish off the fence.
Refer to my PICKET FENCE HAT BORDER video tutorials if you need more help!
Here is what the back looks like
These squares are large (10.5×10.5). 4 of them together would make a great lovey blanket. 6-8 sewn together with a border would make a nice blanket! I would love to make multiple squares with different color sheep or maybe use it in a farm themed afghan. Can’t wait to see what you do with them!

    There's an error, I believe, in row 6. If you turn and start back, you would sc with green in 5 stitches, then your white scs, then finish the row with 19 green scs. At least that's what it seems like as I'm trying the pattern.

    Any guesstimates for how much yarn per square? (42 inches x 63 inches = 4 squares x 6 squares)

      I made this and the back looks fine. Don’t carry the threads over each other, use separate balls. I hope this helps. You can email me at [email protected] and I can send you a pic if you’d like 🙂

        I love this pattern, but what. do you do with the yarn on the back side to make it look neat. I thought I would carry it along to have less yarns to weave in, but if there is a better way I would like to learn how it is done.
        Thank you.

    I believe there is an error in row 7 and row 24. Row seven as written adds up to 29 stitches and row 24 adds up to 27.

    I love this sheep ! But I’d love to make it coaster size – ‘cos I need something at work on my desk to plonk my work keys on so they don’t damage the desktop and so it’s not so noisy when I put them on the desk. Currently I put them on a folded up tissue! Would love to crochet a all version if the sheep!

    I’m wondering how to switch the yarns going from the green to the white. Do you cut it everytime or just let it hang there or carry it across? I’ve never switched colors so many times so close together. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Question for row 6, please: SC in first 5 with green, SC in next 4 with white – does it mean it will be one white st. over green, 2 sts. over white and another st. over green? it looks awful on my work. Where do I go wrong? Thanks.

    What is a spike stitch? Great project! Can’t wait to start. I’m making a large afghan for a teenager who has a lamb. Squares are sewn together with a fence border around the whole afghan. She will love it on her bed. She has recently asked me to crochet an afghan with sheep on it. So your pattern will suit her well. Thanks for your time and effort.

    Hi, Has an updated version of this sheep motif pattern been created as the stitch counts do not work out correctly. I would like to use it as Baa Baa Black Sheep for a baby blanket but cannot get the stitches to work not being a pattern maker.
    Would really appreciate some help
    Thanks

    Cute pattern, but so many pop up ads that cover the pattern, makes it almost impossible to copy and paste the pattern. In fact I had to use screen shots to get the last part of the pattern. Ads shouldn’t cover up the pattern.

    I am trying to crochet this square but I am finding is incredibly hard. Do you cary the yarn that you don’t use, or do you use a new ball with every colour change ?

    I crocheted the Bobble Stitch Sheep Square. What size crochet hook would you recommend to make a 7 inch granny square? My sheep came out great, but my sides were pulling from the bobble stitch. I am a tight crocheter and was wondering how to do the background stitches so that it’s pulling the stitches before it and so that the sides come out even. Also being left handed this pattern was a challenge since everything is in reverse including the instructions. Any suggestions?
