Cut the thread, hide the tail.

Legs + body
First, knit with smooth, then with fluffy threads:

Row 1: 6 sc in KA or in ch
Row 2: (inc) x 6 times (12)
Row 3: 1 sc, inc, (2 sc, inc) x 3 times, sc (16)
Row 4: 1 sc, inc x 2 times, (2 sc, inc x 2 times) x 3 times, sc (24)
Due to increases in the corners, the part should strive for a square shape. You can even pull the corners to make it look more like a square.
Row 5: 24 sc in the back loop of the previous row
Rows 6-7: 24 sc
Cut the smooth yarn, tie the fluffy one.
Row 8: (3 sc, inc) x 6 times (30)
Row 9: (4 sc, inc) x 6 times (36)
Row 10: 36 sc
Row 11: (4 sc, dec) x 6 times (30)
Row 12: (3 sc, dec) x 6 times (24)
Row 13: (2 sc, dec) x 6 times (18)
Row 14: (1 sc, dec) x 6 times (12), stuff the part with holofiber.
Row 15: decrease until the hole is closed

Secure the thread, cut it, hide the tail.

Ears (2 pieces)
We knit with smooth threads.

Row 1: 4 sc in KA or in a chain stitch
Do not close the part in a circle! Turn the knitting
Row 2: inc, (2 dc in the next stitch) x 2 times, inc

Cut the thread, fold the edge of the ear in half, sew.

Assembly and decoration of the toy
At the narrowest part of the muzzle, make a small tightening of the eyes (with one stitch, grabbing 2-3 sc). Bring the thread to the base of the head.

With the same thread, form the nostrils (symmetrically, about in the 4th row from the beginning of knitting) and the mouth with tighteners. You can lightly tone them with pastels, shadows, or a pencil. You can also embroider the nose with contrasting threads in the shape of the letter Y.

At the place of the tightening, sew on the bead eyes with black thread. Use the same thread to embroider the eyebrows.

Approximately at the level of the eyes to the fluffy part of the head, sew the ears so that they “look” to the sides or down.

With tighteners, form the legs of the sheep. Bring the thread out of the ring of the first row, insert it at the boundary of smooth and fluffy yarn, and bring it out again in the ring, making a tightening with one stitch. Repeat three more times. The tighteners should lie in a cross and should pass in the middle of each side of the square we formed at the beginning of knitting the body.

Secure the thread and bring it out where the sheep will have its tail. With the same thread, crochet 5-6 chain stitches and sew the chain with a loop.

Firmly sew the head to the body at the angle you like best.

Decorate the sheep and attach it with a carabiner to the loop-suspension. Done
