- Attach the head to the body securely.
- Sew the legs onto the body.
- Sew the ears to the top of the head, positioning them symmetrically.
- Attach the muzzle to the face.
- Embroider the facial features using embroidery thread: add a small nose and closed eyes to make the sheep appear to be sleeping.
- Optionally, you can add a ribbon around the neck and sew a small bell to the ribbon.
- Weave in all loose ends and cut any excess yarn.
