    About

    I love a foot rest and got the idea for this from many stools made into sheep and other animals. I thought, thus would work for a footstool. I bought a footstool on the Internet that had the required four legs.

        Thanks Paula. You will find lots of ideas if you search for sheep/animal stool. I got a basic footstool on eBay. You really don't need a pattern. I did a bobble stitch one row and dc next row to cover the body, increasing until I reached the edge, then straight down. You can make the head a lot bigger if you like and top with the bobble stitch. Add a tail and little hooves. It's great fun and you can do almost any animal. Have a go. Good luck. Alison :)
