TOFT Sheep Magazine

Crochet your own flock with TOFT Sheep Magazine, a TOFT Quarterly special featuring eighteen sheep patterns by Kerry Lord. Part of the Edward’s Menagerie collection, it brings together breeds with distinctive faces and fleeces, from the Valais Blacknose to the spiralling horns of the Racka, alongside Simon the Sheep and a miniature sheep.
