sheep earmuffs pattern

“Watching the snow accumulated outside your window, this winter is sure freezingly cold”, my heart whispering when watching the news about the cool winter weather. It is fun to have some outdoor activities with the thick snow; snowball fighting, making a snowman, sleigh ride, skiing, et cetera. and I hope you are able to keep warm too while enjoying the snow play; especially the little one who needs your tenderly care. I made these Sheep Earmuffs (ear warmers) for my daughter.

sheep earmuffs pattern

The design of these Sheep EarMuffs was inspired by the hilarious flock in the “Shaun The Sheep“, a children’s animation TV series. I especially love the big fat sheep, Shirley, who basically eats everything and gets into trouble for consuming those uneatable. Isn’t her big fluffy body so perfect as the muff? These Sheep EarMuffs are made up of loop stitches with a 1″ loop length. The head, ears, and legs are single crochet stitches amigurumi. Sewing all the parts to assemble the sheep, then attach the headband to become an earmuff. That’s it! Hope your kid finds it warm yet entertaining when wearing the Sheep EarMuffs.

By the way, if you are also a fan of “Shaun The Sheep”, don’t miss out on the tutorial by using pom-pom to make the sheep keychain.

Crochet all sheep amigurumi parts (picture shown only 1 set).
Cut 2 pcs. of circles from microfiber or fleece, the diameter of the circle (including seam allowance) is about 4″ or 1 1/2″ larger than the opening of the body.

 

With tapestry needle, sew ears at round 10 of the head, 10 stitches apart.
Sew head to the body with the top of the head at the center of the body.
Sew legs at round 6 of the body, 5 stitches apart.
Glue eyes at round 8 of the head. (You can glue the eyes later for a faster process)
Repeat the same to another sheep.
Set aside while waiting for the glue to dry.

 

While waiting for the glue to dry and eyes to fix, measure the length (L) and width (W) for the headband.
Cut 1 rectangular from the microfiber with about 1″ seam allowance at each side for the length (total = 2″+L), add 1″ + 1/2″ seam allowance at each side (total = 2″+W) for the width. The extra 1″ is to ensure that the headband pocket is big enough to let the plastic headband to pass through.

 

With right side facing each other, sew along lengthwise of the microfiber. Turn the tube right-side out.
Insert the headband into the tube pocket.
Sew to close bother ends.

 

When the eyes are safe to handle, sew with slip stitch to attach the microfiber circle to the body of the sheep. Leave 1″ opening at the top of the sheep, for stuffing and headband attachment.

 
Stuff earmuffs

Stuff some poly-fill into the earmuffs through the opening.

 
Sew earmuffs to head band

The length of the headband needed for a kid is about 12 1/2″ or slightly longer for adult. Mark the headband then insert the end into the opening, pin to secure then slip stitch to attach. You will find part of the plastic end is inside the earmuff.
Repeat the same to the other side.
If you haven’t glued the eyes, you can do it now. Leave the glue to dry before handling.
~Done~
