Sheep
Sheep as a tidy 28 by 27 filet motif with a strong silhouette that survives even on a smaller grid, ideal for playful kids' blankets, nursery pieces, and animal-lover gifts. Load it in the editor to adjust the spacing, add a surrounding frame, or mirror it for a matched pair, then save or print the finished chart.

Skill level: easy
This sits just above an absolute beginner make. The design has a little more shaping to count, but the lines stay clean and forgiving once you settle into the rhythm.
Yarn and hook
For a larger sheep, mercerised cotton in DK or worsted weight on a 3.5–4.5 mm hook keeps the blocks square while giving you a usable throw or cushion size. A solid, light colour shows the mesh best; high-contrast yarns make the design pop in photos and in the finished fabric.
Project ideas
Reach for the sheep when you want a learning project. It looks at home on a soft-toy-themed throw and a playful kids' blanket alike. Crop or enlarge it in the editor so it fits your project exactly.
Who it's for
Stitched for a pet owner, the sheep suits a get-well gift beautifully. Frame it with a border to give a plain gift a finished, considered look.
Size, printing, and scaling
Expect roughly 7.0 by 6.8 inches at 4 mesh per inch. Drop to fine thread for a smaller piece, or move to worsted to scale it right up. You can print a numbered chart as-is, or adjust the grid in the editor and export it in whichever format your project needs.
