Cloud the Sheep

This is Cloud the Sheep he is on the way to Africa to visit my new grandchild.  He is going to be taking some baby clothes as well - watch this space 

I have never been able to follow a pattern to the letter, this pattern has several techniques and suggests alternatives

Notes

1^#. I used lucetcord made with DK, double DK for tail, twisted cord could also be used

2^#you could replace with I cord

4^# you may use embroidery of magic loop with 6-8 stitches

Tool for knitting legs

5^# I put stiches on a thin cord or you could use the chain as a cord to ge the density. The return stiches are also on the same cord
