borreguito Happy Easter! I've just written up a few patterns to make some tiny little crochet animals - a little sheep, a tiny turtle, and two versions of a baby octopus. Below are a list of abbreviations and some general instructions that will help with all the patterns, and then the pattern to make a Wee Sheepie. I'll put the patterns for the other animals in the following posts. Abbreviations: ch = chain st = stitch or stitches sc = single crochet (US), double crochet (UK) dc = double crochet (US), treble crochet (UK) hdc = half double crochet (US), half treble crochet (UK) BLO = back loop only FLO = front loop only tog = together sc2tog = decrease by working two sc together FO = fasten off General instructions: Work in rounds unless otherwise stated and do not join rounds unless told to. Use a stitch marker to mark the start of a round - a small piece of different coloured yarn placed under the stitch at the start of the round will do. To start a round, you can use the magic ring method, but I prefer (ch2, work 6 sc into 1 st ch). If you work the 6 sc over the tail of yarn as well you can use that to pull the hole tight.

Happy Easter! I've just written up a few patterns to make some tiny little crochet animals - a little sheep, a tiny turtle, and two versions of a baby octopus. Below are a list of abbreviations and some general instructions that will help with all the patterns, and then the pattern to make a Wee Sheepie. I'll put the patterns for the other animals in the following posts.

Abbreviations:ch = chainst = stitch or stitchessc = single crochet (US), double crochet (UK)dc = double crochet (US), treble crochet (UK)hdc = half double crochet (US), half treble crochet (UK)BLO = back loop only FLO = front loop onlytog = togethersc2tog = decrease by working two sc togetherFO = fasten off

General instructions:Work in rounds unless otherwise stated and do not join rounds unless told to. Use a stitch marker to mark the start of a round - a small piece of different coloured yarn placed under the stitch at the start of the round will do. To start a round, you can use the magic ring method, but I prefer (ch2, work 6 sc into 1st ch). If you work the 6 sc over the tail of yarn as well you can use that to pull the hole tight.

Work through both loops of stitches unless otherwise indicated.
