My Snowman Sack was such a hit I wanted to revisit the design and create other characters! And wouldn’t you know it, just by altering my Lamb Hat Pattern, I was able to make an adorable Sheep Drawstring Bag! Fill it with gifts, goodies, accessories, even a ball of yarn and hook for on-the-go crocheting!
Materials:
– Bernat Super Value Yarn (worsted weight) in Winter White and a bit of beige or gray and pink for the face/accent pieces. You can find the entire line of Bernat Super Value at Yarnspirations.com.

This is adorable! I can also see this as a goodie bag for a (small, if I want my hand to survive) party, like a baby shower or Easter hunt. Thank you!
I love this drawstring bag as much as your snowman one! I made 2 snowmen bags and filled them with all kinds of small goodies,sent them off to my nephews this past Xmas and they loved them, will do the same with the sheep for next Easter. Thank You
This little guy is completely darling. Thanks so much for the pattern. He might turn out to be a blacksheep..lol..
I would love to make it into a real bag for my toddler girl to carry little things with…but I am gonna need help with the strings! and how about some ideas for boys too☺️
so cute and adorable.
I think it would be a perfect gift for my niece ^^
This so cute, my girls would love something like this. I better get the wool and crochet hooks out. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for your clear and easily understood instructions! I have been trying to make a lamb like this for a friend and just could not justify giving it to her with all of the gaping holes that the other patterns left! This is perfect! Not only can it be used as a purse for a little girl, but if you stuff it and tie the top tight, it can be a cuddly toy for a baby! Thank you!
Real cutie! Great idea.Thanks for pattern
Love this pattern, I was looking for a sheep tea cosy pattern to make for my sister, this will adapt perfectly thanks.
I have also made the sheep hats for family baby gifts and they loved them.
Thank you for the inspiration and patterns
So cute! I was looking for something to make into a doorstop and the drawstring top is perfect so the weights can be removed and the bag washed; although I’ll make mine as a black sheep! Thank you for sharing the pattern!

hi
after you do a bobble stitch so you chain 1? it doesn’t look like you are doing hdc after each bobble stitch. is that correct? loooks like you are doing bobble stitch ch1 and then sc in next st and then bobble stitch in next.
Was looking for note in the information page how to make the bobble. Want to make this for someone who has a birthday very soon and not sure how to proceed before knowing how you have done the bobble portion. Thank you. This is a very cute idea. Anxious to make it.
Maybe this site will also help you vokalayetehran

I collect sheep and a friend just sent me a link to this site. I think I will have to make a few of these adorable little guys to add to my collection and probably some for the grandkids as well. Thanks for a lovely pattern!
Love the way this worked up. The bobbles are so cute
